NASA is set to go on a mission to explore one of the most promising places within our solar system that could potentially harbor life. But it's not a planet - it's actually one of Jupiter's 95 moons.

The first NASA spacecraft dedicated to studying an ocean world beyond Earth, Europa Clipper aims to find out whether the ice-encased moon Europa could be habitable.

A SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket will launch from the Kennedy Space Center with the largest spacecraft NASA has ever built for a planetary mission. The NASA Europa Clipper spacecraft plans to study Jupiter’s icy moon Europa for signs of life. Read: NASA spacecraft to study Jupiter moon’s underground ocean cleared for October launch

A multibillion-dollar NASA mission to a potentially habitable moon of Jupiter has been cleared to begin final preparations for an October launch.

Jupiter’s moon Europa shows strong evidence for an ocean of liquid water beneath its icy crust. In fact, it could have all the ingredients needed for life. In October, we set sail to take a closer look – here's how we'll do it. pic.twitter.com/jy7m6NlYiD

NASA’s Europa Clipper is set launch in October to explore the habitability of an ice-covered ocean world in our solar system after passing a key test.

NASA is on the brink of launching its most ambitious planetary mission yet—the Europa Clipper. The spacecraft will head to Europa, Jupiter’s icy moon which scientists believe may be able to support life.
