## Caption

A full-scale prototype of the Europa Clipper's high-gain antenna is undergoing testing in the Experimental Test Range at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. The antenna will take a long journey aboard Europa Clipper, a spacecraft that will conduct detailed reconnaissance of Jupiter's moon Europa to see whether the icy orb could harbor conditions suitable for life. Scientists believe there's a massive salty ocean beneath Europa's icy surface. The antenna will beam back high-resolution images and scientific data from Europa Clipper's cameras and science instruments.
