NASA Europa Reports have released its initial finding for the Europa Clipper Mission bound to take effect in 2020. Back in 2015, NASA Europa Clipper Mission has earned the much-needed support from Congress and everything handed through the directive in creating a spacecraft to explore the vast possibilities around the giant rings of Jupiter is about to make launch.

In a report posted to The Verge, NASA's mission concept called Europa Clipper Mission is envisioned to orbit around Jupiter and gather substantial data about its moon. It initially excludes landing on Jupiter's Moon surface since it has been deemed impossible.

The good thing now is NASA is considering landing a spacecraft on Jupiter's surface which therefore makes NASA Europa Clipper Mission an all-out exploration in the biggest planet. The findings regarding the surface landing on Europa will now be opened up for discussion with the broader science community, Digital Trends reported.

NASA also noted in the reports that Europa Clipper Mission's primary goal is to search for evidence of life on Europa. On the other hand, the mission will also touch on the assessment of the habitability of Europa through the materials viable in its surface. The latter goal will characterize the surface and subsurface to create provisions and support future robotic exploration of Europa and its ocean.

Europa Clipper Mission researchers have produced an evidence to support their claim that Europa may have a global saltwater ocean, a substance essential to life. These scientists also noted that the bottom of Jupiter's Moon's ocean is a rocky floor which could actually contain the elements needed to sustain life.

As of now, NASA is planning to launch multiple flyby mission starting 2020. This solar-powered spacecraft is different from the new Europa Mission lander designed by 21 scientists and it could arrive at Jupiter after a multi-year journey orbiting the gas giant every two weeks for a series of 45 close flybys.
