Investigations of Moon-Magnetosphere Interactions by the Europa Clipper Mission
Abstract
The influence of the Jovian space environment on Europa is multifaceted, and observations of moon-magnetosphere interaction by the Europa Clipper will provide an understanding of the satellite's interior structure and compositional makeup among others. The Europa Clipper trajectory is well-suited for characterization of the ice shell and ocean and of the atmosphere and ionosphere created through Europa's interaction with Jupiter's magnetosphere.
