Session Proposal: Exploring Jupiter’s Icy Moons with the NASA Europa Clipper mission and the ESA Juice mission (AGU25)

P012
Exploring Jupiter’s Icy Moons with the NASA Europa Clipper mission and the ESA Juice mission

Session ID#: 250483

Session Description:
NASA’s Europa Clipper mission and ESA’s Juice mission have both successfully launched and will arrive to the Jovian system in 2030 and 2031, respectively. The comprehensive suite of instruments onboard the two spacecraft presents a unique opportunity to perform individual and joint science investigations en route to Jupiter and within the Jovian system. This session welcomes presentations related to leveraging these missions to significantly advance our understanding of Jupiter’s icy moons. Topics include, but are not limited to, surface features and properties, internal structures, dynamics of the subsurface oceans, as well as implications for habitability. We also invite contributions from the complex interactions of Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto with their variable space environment and their dynamic evolution within the Jovian system. Finally, abstracts related to Juice-Clipper synergy ideas, instrumentations of Juice and Clipper, observations, and science opportunities during the cruise are also welcome.
