In 1996 Galileo did a fly-by of Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter and sent back some amazing photos of its surface along with some shots of Jupiter. The government gave out their descriptions of what they thought the make up of the moon consisted of based on the information at hand.
Then in 2007 the New Horizon satellite did its fly-by of Europa and gave some near high definition images of the moon. They have examined Europa using the Hubble Telescope and various spectrographs.
The government has had many different brilliant minds exploring the cosmos and looking for other worlds to explore and hoping to someday send humans to visit these other worlds. We know all that we know about these other worlds based on their scientific study.
But do we really know what is on these worlds? Are the government scientists giving all the details? Or are they only telling us what the government wants us to know? All of the satellites and probes sent out into the cosmos are sent by institutions that have their budgets controlled by the Federal Government. Therefore we know that the government controls what information is released to the general public.
The (CSA) Civil Space Agency, a private company, had their suspicions that the government was hiding information from the public. They took it upon themselves, and in 2000 the Europa Exploration Satellite was launched. After it arrived to orbit Europa it sent back high definition images of a world that was much different than what the government had released.
Their spectrograph readings told a different story than the government. They suggested that there was much more to Europa than what the general public was lead to believe. The CSA put together the funding and the crew, and in April 2010 they launched a manned mission to Europa.
In March of 2015, the Europa Exploration Mission arrived in orbit around Europa with a crew of eight. Their mission was to establish an operating base on the surface of Europa, and send back all the data that they could gather about the conditions on the surface and any plant or animal life that they might find on the new world.
The Europa Exploration Mission discovered a world until their arrival, people could only dream about and scientists could only hope would one day be discovered on another world. On this new world, they discovered far more than one had anticipated.
Join the crew and discover a world that once only existed in dreams.
