The Ocean Worlds Exploration Program (OWEP) is a NASA program [1] to explore ocean worlds in the outer Solar System that could possess subsurface oceans to assess their habitability and to seek biosignatures of simple extraterrestrial life. Prime targets include moons that harbor hidden oceans beneath a shell of ice: Europa, Enceladus, and ...
In June 2015, NASA approved the mission concept, allowing the orbiter to move to its formulation stage. [50] In January 2016, NASA approved the addition of a lander, [51] [52] but this was canceled in 2017 because it was deemed too risky. [53] In May 2016, the Ocean Worlds Exploration Program was approved, [54] of which the Europa mission is ...
