A 6000-kilogram
spacecraft will embark on a six-year journey to Jupiter to explore whether its
icy moon Europa has the conditions to support life.
Could NASA a find
life on Europa?
According to some
evolutionists, “The largest spacecraft ever created NASA for an interplanetary
mission will launch today to determine whether Europa, one of Jupiter’s
moons, has an environment that could support life.
The Europa Clipper
mission is expected to launch at 12:06 pm local time aboard a SpaceX Falcon
Heavy rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, having been delayed
by several days as a precaution because of Hurricane Milton.
Europa is the
smallest of the so-called Galilean moons, which are Jupiter’s four largest
moons. It is slightly smaller than our own moon and is of particular
interest to scientists. Previous observations have indicated that Europa has
a vast subsurface ocean, and this mission is designed to explore the
possibility that life could reside within it.
With its solar
arrays deployed that Europa has a vast subsurface ocean, and this mission
is designed to explore the possibility that life could reside within it.
With its solar arrays deployed, Europa Clipper spans
more than 30 metres and weighs 3241 kilograms without propellant, which will
add a further 2750 kilograms.
The spacecraft will take around six years to travel
2.9 billion kilometres to its rendezvous with Jupiter in
April 2030, using the gravity. of Mars and then Earth to boost its speed.”
Some believers in evolution have supposed that
Europa is teeming with life, but only God can bring it about.
