Robot to space Nasa is currently planning a unmanned mission to a moon orbiting Jupiter! Yes, if your wondering that you have read that wrong, well you didn’t. Nasa is planning to send a robot to a moon orbiting Jupiter. The moon is said to be called Europa. Europa is slightly smaller than the Earths moon, but its said to be covered in a huge ocean of water, but most of it is frozen. The launch is expected to be in about ten years. Even though it’s a while away, Nasa has US $15million to plan the exploration. Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System and is fifth from the sun.
