Europa Clipper: Mission to an Ocean World

Planetary scientist Dr. Rachel Klima describes the first mission dedicated to study an ocean world beyond Earth. The spacecraft will launch in 2024 to study Jupiter’s moon Europa, which may be the best place in our solar system to look for life beyond Earth.

Dr. Rachel Klima is the Director of the Lunar Surface Innovation Consortium and a senior staff scientist in the Planetary Exploration Group at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. Dr. Klima analyzes the infrared reflection of rocks and minerals to increase our understanding of the Moon, planets, and other objects in our solar system. Dr. Klima has been involved with numerous missions to bodies throughout the solar system, including the Europa Clipper.
