NASA unveils Europa Clipper spacecraft set to assess life on Jupiter's icy moon
Set for take-off in October and with ten years of space travel ahead of it, NASA's new Clipper spacecraft is unveiled in California. The five-billion-dollar probe will travel to Europa, one of Jupiter's dozens of moons, to search for the conditions necessary for life, including liquid water, which scientists believe to be present.
