Bonnie Buratti, Deputy Project Scientist, Europa Clipper Mission, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
2024 William H. Pickering Lecture, “Europa Clipper: First NASA Mission to an Ocean World”
As NASA’s first detailed exploration of an ocean world with an overarching goal of searching for a habitable zone, Europa Clipper is scheduled to launch in 2024. Europa is one of Jupiter’s four moons discovered by Galileo in 1610. It almost certainly harbors a salty ocean underneath a thick ice crust. This ocean has all the requirements for a habitable zone where primitive life could potentially thrive: liquid water, energy in the form of chemical potentials, and organic molecules. Europa Clipper also will study the geology, interior, and composition of Europa. Buratti’s lecture will showcase the mission's objectives and its role in the search for life beyond Earth.
