摘要

美国宇航局最新的太空探测器木卫二快船于2024年10月14日发射，将研究木星的卫星木卫二。木卫二被一层冰壳覆盖，人们认为它拥有一个由液态水组成的地下海洋。“木卫二快船”的主要任务是研究这颗卫星的冰壳及其表面特征，确认地下海洋的存在，并确定其化学成分。最终，这项任务将进一步加深我们对太阳系中冰冷卫星（如木卫二）的潜在可居住性的了解。在本期的问答中，我们采访了三位参与“克利伯”项目的科学家（克里斯托弗·格莱因博士、埃洛迪·莱塞奇博士和安妮·马里南博士），以及他们希望在这次任务中回答哪些具体的研究问题。

Q&A Europa Clipper mission

NASA’s latest space probe Europa Clipper, was launched on October 14, 2024, and will study Jupiter’s moon Europa. Europa is covered by an icy crust and is thought to host a subsurface ocean of liquid water. Europa Clipper’s main mission objectives are to study the moon’s ice crust and its surface features, confirm the presence of a subsurface ocean, and determine its chemical composition. Ultimately, this mission will further our understanding of the potential habitability of icy moons in our solar system, such as Europa. In this Q&A we are talking with three scientists (Dr. Christopher Glein, Dr. Elodie Lesage and Dr. Annie Marinan) involved with Clipper, and what particular research questions they hope to answer during the mission.
