Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer

From Spacefaring




The Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer is an interplanetary spacecraft developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and on its way to orbit and study three icy moons of Jupiter: Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa. These planetary-mass moons are planned to be studied because they are thought to have significant bodies of liquid water beneath their frozen surfaces, which would make them potentially habitable for extraterrestrial life.
