NASA just launched a spacecraft the size of a basketball court towards Jupiter's moon Europa. Here's what will happen over the next 10 years.

NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft launched from Florida's Kennedy Space Center on a nearly six-year mission to Jupiter to see if it's possible to sustain life that far into space.

Europa Clipper will make a six-year journey to Jupiter to study Europa, an icy-surfaced moon that scientists believe has “ingredients for life.”

Hurricane Milton's impending landfall has forced NASA to delay the highly anticipated launch of the Europa Clipper.

NASA's Europa Clipper mission launched Monday to see if the oceans on Jupiter's moon Europa has the conditions to support current life.

Managed by JPL scientists and technicians, it will take Europa Clipper 5 1/2 years to reach Jupiter, where it will slip into orbit around the giant gas planet.
