Europa Clipper in final preparations for its historic voyage to Jupiter's icy moon

Los Angeles (USA), Apr 26 (EFE) - Europa Clipper, the largest spacecraft that NASA has ever built for a planetary mission, is finalizing operational tests to begin its historic journey in October to Europa, an icy moon of Jupiter and where it is believed that "there are all the elements to harbor life.

The 5-meter-high, 30.5-meter-wide spacecraft will investigate Europa, one of Jupiter's best-known moons covered in a thick layer of ice and with an internal ocean twice as large as all of Earth's oceans, in detail.
