The $5 billion Europa Clipper spacecraft will launch on Oct. 10 .

It will take five -and-a-half years to explore Jupiter 's icy moon Europa .

Europa has an ice shell 10 to 15 miles thick, covering a global ocean 40 to 100 miles deep.

The water in the ocean is kept liquid as a result of tidal forces.

Europa Clipper is being readied at NASA ’s Kennedy Space Center to be loaded aboard its Falcon Heavy for the Oct. 10 start of its journey.

The ship will finally reach Jupiter on April 11, 2030 for a minimum of four years of operation in the Jovian system.
