Welcome to our website about Europa Moon
This is an investigaton about "Europa moon" and if there can be an opportunity for us to live in there an how can we do it.
About "Europa Moon"
Is the sixth closest moon of the planet Jupiter, and the smallest of its four Galilean satellites, but still the sixth-largest moon in the Solar System. Europa was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei and possibly independently by Simon Marius around the same time. Slightly smaller than the Moon, Europa is primarily made of silicate rock and probably has an iron core. It has a tenuous atmosphere composed primarily of oxygen. Its surface is composed of water ice and is one of the smoothest in the Solar System.This surface is striated by cracks and streaks, whereas craters are relatively rare. The apparent youth and smoothness of the surface have led to the hypothesis that a water ocean exists beneath it, which could conceivably serve as an abode for extraterrestrial life.This hypothesis proposes that heat from tidal flexing causes the ocean to remain liquid and drives geological activity similar to plate tectonics.
Future Explorations
Jupiter's moons provide the potential opportunity for future manned exploration.Particular target is Europa, due to its potential for life. In 2003, NASA proposed a program called Human Outer Planets Exploration (HOPE) that involved a manned mission to the Galilean moons. NASA has projected a possible attempt some time in the 2040s.In the Vision for Space Exploration policy announced in January 2004, NASA has discussed manned missions beyond Mars, mentioning that a "human research presence" may be desirable on Jupiter's moons.

The Possibility Of Life On Europa
Europa is a cold moon orbiting Jupiter, but under its surface, could there be an ocean filled with organisms?
