According to CU researchers, the Surface Dust Analyzer will begin its six-year journey to Jupiter’s moon Europa. Scientists believe the moon has an ocean of water beneath its icy surface. SUDA was designed and built by a team from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder. It will investigate Europa to determine if it has conditions that could support life.
“This will allow us to address very fundamental questions for humanity is it likely that life could have been formed anywhere else in the solar system or is there even life somewhere else in the solar system?” asked Sascha Kempf, CU Boulder professor.
