Mission Objective• Mission StatementOur team will explore Europa’s properties and research to find biological potentials
• Science Goal- To know creatures can live
in Europa- To investigate habitable
conditions for human be-ings
Europa?Europa- Is the sixth closest moon of
the planet Jupiter.- The smallest of its four
Galilean satellites.- Has the largest liquid water
ocean in the solar system.Index Value
Surface Pressure 0.1 µPa
Volume 0.015 VE
Mass 0.008 VE
Mean Density 3.01 g/
Why?- Has abundant water
beneath the ice layer
- Ice layer is too thick that can protects any harmful radiation.
- Ice layer can insulate heat
Why?- Hydrothermal vents may
exist. Which similar with the origin feature or Earth.
- Researchers found oxy-gen which came from liv-ing creatures.
- There’s a warm lake be-low the ice layer.
Search Target- Search for the composition of water, atmosphere and
the ice layer
- Search for isotope elements to look for Bio – marks
- Search for Europa’s electromagnetic field
- View around the water layer and detect heats
Instruments we need
Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry Magnetometer
Ice Penetrating Radar Infrared Camera
Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry(GC-MS)
This instrument combines the features of gas-liquid chro-matography and mass spectrometry to identify various sub-stances from samples.
Magnetometer(MAG)
It can measure the strength of magnetic field in ocean. Then we can find the area which is the most appropri-ate to live.
Ice Penetrating Radar(IPR)
The IPR sends radios or microwaves to the ice layer and it reflects on the lowest ice layer. In this process, the different ice layer’s thickness will determine the length of the whole mission.
Infrared CameraInfrared Camera
- Infrared Low Light Camera : Se-cure a clear view in the dark
- Infrared Thermal Camera : we can know about temperature of the object
Bio-markersWe will search for elements which came from living creatures by GC-MS
We will look for heats which maybe came from living creatures
We will use strong electromagnets to de-tect magnetic bacteria
