Mission Objective Europa Why? Search Targets Instruments Bio – Markers Timeline Table of Contents
Mission Objective Mission Statement Our team will explore Europa’s properties and research to find biological potentials Science Goal -To know creatures can live in Europa -To investigate habitable conditions for human beings
Europa? Europa -Is the sixth closest moon of the planet Jupiter. -The smallest of its four Galilean satellites. -Has the largest liquid water ocean in the solar system. IndexValue Surface Pressure0.1 µPa Volume0.015 V E Mass0.008 V E Mean Density3.01 g/
Why? -Has abundant water beneath the ice layer -Ice layer is too thick that can protects any harmful radiation. -Ice layer can insulate heat
Why? -Hydrothermal vents may exist. Which similar with the origin feature or Earth. -Researchers found oxygen which came from living creatures. -There’s a warm lake below the ice layer.
Search Target -Search for the composition of water, atmosphere and the ice layer -Search for isotope elements to look for Bio – marks -Search for Europa’s electromagnetic field -View around the water layer and detect heats
Instruments we need Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry Magnetometer Ice Penetrating Radar Infrared Camera
Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) This instrument combines the features of gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify various substances from samples.
Magnetometer (MAG) It can measure the strength of magnetic field in ocean. Then we can find the area which is the most appropriate to live.
Ice Penetrating Radar (IPR) The IPR sends radios or microwaves to the ice layer and it reflects on the lowest ice layer. In this process, the different ice layer’s thickness will determine the length of the whole mission.
Infrared Camera - Infrared Low Light Camera : Secure a clear view in the dark - Infrared Thermal Camera : we can know about temperature of the object
Bio-markers We will search for elements which came from living creatures by GC-MS We will look for heats which maybe came from living creatures We will use strong electromagnets to detect magnetic bacteria
