The Latest Breaking News from Europa

Transistors on NASA's Europa satellite can't handle space radiation, putting mission at risk — repair could require 'baking' the MOSFETS inside the satellite

The Infineon transistors NASA used on the Europa Clipper had a higher-than-expected failure rate when exposed to radiation. The agency now has to see how it will affect the Jupiter mission and what steps it should take to keep the satellite on schedule.

Jupiter's violent moon Io has been the solar system's most volcanic body for around 4.5 billion years

Jupiter's moon Io is the solar system's most volcanic body thanks to a gravitational tug of war that rages below its surface. But now scientists know the violent moon has always been this way.

The Europa Clipper may only need 1 ice grain to detect life on Jupiter's ocean moon

A single icy moon grain could host tiny microbes or cellular remnants of life. If so, NASA's Europa Clipper may one day be able to find life near Jupiter.
