The Europa Clipper spacecraft, scheduled to arrive in 2030 following a six-year journey, will probe Europa, one of the large satellites of Jupiter. Its instruments will measure the depth of the icy crust and of the ocean beneath and analyze the composition of the surface ice and very thin atmosphere. The exhibit explains the mission and the functioning of the spacecraft's instruments and provides demonstrations of the physical principles behind their functioning.
