NASA is set to launch the Europa Clipper spacecraft to explore Jupiter’s moon, Europa, on October 14, using SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket. The mission aims to determine if Europa can support life beneath its icy surface.

The space agency believes Jupiter’s moon is one of the “most promising places” to find habitable environments in the solar system.

A NASA spacecraft rocketed away Monday on a quest to explore Jupiter’s tantalizing moon Europa and reveal whether its vast hidden ocean might hold the keys to life.
