Artist's Concept of Europa Water Vapor Plume

description

Summary

This is an artist's concept of a plume of water vapor thought to be ejected off the frigid, icy surface of the Jovian moon Europa, located about 500 million miles (800 million kilometers) from the sun. Spectroscopic measurements from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope led scientists to calculate that the plume rises to an altitude of 125 miles (201 kilometers) and then it probably rains frost back onto the moon's surface. Previous findings already pointed to a subsurface ocean under Europa's icy crust.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- As part of Crew Equipment Interface Test (CEIT) activities at SPACEHAB, members of the STS-106 crew check out a Maximum Envelope Support Structure (MESS) rack they will be using during their mission to the International Space Station. Seen here (with backs to camera, in uniform) are Mission Specialist Richard A. Mastracchio, Pilot Scott D. Altman, Boris V. Morukov, and Edward T. Lu (at right). Also taking part in the CEIT are Commander Terrence W. Wilcutt and Mission Specialists Yuri I. Malenchenko and Daniel C. Burbank. Malenchenko and Morukov represent the Russian Aviation and Space Agency. STS-106 is scheduled to launch Sept. 8, 2000, at 8:31 a.m. EDT from Launch Pad 39B on an 11-day mission. The seven-member crew will prepare the Space Station for its first resident crew and begin outfitting the newly arrived Zvezda Service Module. They will perform support tasks on orbit, transfer supplies and prepare the Zvezda living quarters for the first long-duration crew, dubbed “Expedition One,” which is due to arrive at the Station in late fall KSC00pp0952
