A prospective hunting will be done on Jupiter’s Moon Europa by NASA for the signs of Alien life on that icy and the ocean-harboring world.

Having a hope on the world, NASA is going to begin a mission to Jupiter’s moon Europa on searching for the signs of life on that frozen moon. The organization is decided to have the faith and confident by the symptoms of having the water vapor molecules in the moon’s polar region.

According to the Inquisitor, the thought of the research team might be a mode to the liquid water sample that which is usually not at all approachable with the processing of a thick layer of ice that which is covering on the top of the moon.

An astro-biologist at the California’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Kevin Hand quoted his words by saying, “Europa is clearly such a prime target for astrobiology that having a workshop like this to try and figure out all the ways in which we could possibly sample its ocean critically important.”

With the information they got there, the project has approved from the White House about $30 million which is about Rs. 186 crores in Indian currency to have a research on the very first segment which is part of a $18.5 billion about Rs. 1,15,050 crores in count that has a request as it is still awaiting for the Congressional approval.

Total amount that has to be spent on the Europa mission, from beginning to ending, might need more than $2 billion which is about Rs. 12,437 crores. NASA has a bumpy view of plan for the mission by the conveyance of a vessel which can travel to the Jupiter’s orbit and can make about 45 flybys of Europa over 3.5 years.

Even collecting the samples of water, the mission would also have a chance to compute and map the iced shell which is covering on the top of the surface that could place the basis for a potential mission to Europa.
