Europa is one of 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 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 4.8×1022 kg and a radius of 1.565×106.
