Europa• The smallest of four Galilean moon of Jupiter
• Discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei• Study between 1995 and 2003 with the spacecraft Galileo.
Jupiter and this Galilean moons : Callisto, Europa, Io, Ganymede

Life … in Europa ?• Surface is composed of water
ice• Possibility of water beneath
the frozen ice crust.• Possibility of oxygen
• A prominent double-ridge feature on Europa, most likely a crack in the icy shell
• Hypothesis : warm ice rising up through the colder ice of the outer crust
• Life in the Crack ?

Future missions• For know if live exist , one solution : go to explore Europa
• The next project : Launch a rover. Objective :
- Travel the Ice Water - Then explored the ocean
• A robot like DepthX Robot for Mission to Europa.
• DepthX : autonomous underwater vehicle
• The date of launch is unknown at this time, around 2026.

Life on Mars ?
• Explore since a long time :– Spacecraft, satellite.
• On the off chance to find life.• Some theories :
– Life had existed before life on Earth– Life had never existed on Mars– ???
For observing mars : robot has been launched : Curiosity

Curiosity rover
• Mission : Biological, Geological andgeochemical Planetary process and Surface radiation
Launch Date : 26 November 2011
Mars landing : 5 August 2012

Recently Descoveries
• Martian Rock with strange properties.

Environmental
• Water
• Distance of a star :– Temperature : which determine the presence of liquid water– Light : for vegetable– The quantity of toxic radiation (ex : UV)

Environmental
• The nature of Sky (Oxyhen, methane co2 ?)
• Chemical nature of the oceans• Electrical discharge (lightning)• The mass of the planet and of the star

Silicon
• life on Earth is built upon carbon• Another element build life ? Possibility of life
build upon Silicon
• But questioned : Carbon is usely than Silicon, and different inertia.
