The Europa Clipper mission will carry a plaque with images, illustrations, and messages to Jupiter's moon Europa, which is believed to have a subsurface ocean. The plaque commemorates the connection between the two worlds.
The Europa Clipper mission will launch in October and it will carry a plaque with images, illustrations and messages. There will be more than 2.6 million names and the word for ‘water’ converted into waveform from 103 languages. The destination is Jupiter ’s moon Europa which has an icy crust and it is thought, a subsurface ocean . If the ocean exists, and all evidence seems to point to its presence, then there is likely twice as much water by volume than here on Earth.
