Europa - PJ45-2/3/4 - Composite
Observations from the Juno spacecraft’s passes of Juputer's moon Europa have provided new views of this ocean world, resulting in remarkable imagery and unique science. Jupiter’s moon Europa has an icy crust covering a vast, global ocean.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages the Juno mission for the principal investigator, Scott J. Bolton, of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. Juno is part of NASA’s New Frontiers Program, which is managed at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Lockheed Martin Space in Denver built and operates the spacecraft.
