NASA 's Europa Clipper mission is en route to Jupiter 's ice-covered moon Europa .
Europa 's frozen shell almost certainly conceals a warm saltwater ocean.
Engineers are working on what would come next if the results are promising: a mission capable of finding evidence of life itself.
Several groups from multiple countries already have working prototypes of ice-diving robots and smart submersibles.
Europa ’s ice shell is estimated to be 10 to 15 miles thick.
Something is going to have to drill or melt its way through all that before reaching the ocean.
Even if you manage to pass through that gauntlet, you must then make sure the diver maintains a link with the surface and with Earth .
A submersible-like AUV could be used to explore Europa 's icy oceanic moons.
JPL ’s Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor has a wriggling, serpentine robot inspired by the desire to crawl through the vents of Saturn ’s own water-laden moon, Enceladus .
