'''Europa''' is one of [[Jupiter|Jupiter's]] four [[Galilean Moons]]. It is thought that there may be simple life, such as bacteria, on or under it's icy surface, and this was one of the contributing factors in [[w:NASA|NASA's]] decision to crash the [[Galileo Probe]] into Jupiter, out of fear that bacteria could contaminate the potential oceans of Europa. Europa's orbit is in a 1:2:4 resonance with [[Io]] and [[Ganymede]].

== Europa in Orbiter ==
Europa was introduced in Orbiter 2002 modeled as a sphere with a mass of 4.8×10<sup>22</sup> kg and a radius of 1.565×10<sup>6</sup>.

Orbiter versions and add-ons which include Europa as a body.
