The search for life outside Earth's protected atmosphere is a compelling testament to the quest by mankind to determine if "we" are alone in the universe. The phenomenal success of the NASA Galileo spacecraft has indicated that the moons of Jupiter, and most notably Europa, may indeed contain subsurface liquid ( a salt water ocean perhaps?) under an icy surface. This speculation of a salty liquid subsurface fuels expert opinions that biological products may exist. This premise already follows a NASA initiated Program for the exploration of Europa, but the timetable for sending a subsurface vehicle to "search for life" beneath the frozen surface occurs around the turn of the 21st Century. The Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts effort at Langley Research Center, initiated by NASA Headquarters, pushes NASA and the Aerospace/Science community to target advanced/revolutionary technology usage to provide concepts targeted for completion in the next 50 years. The Europa Lander study effort indicates the use of certain advanced technologies to achieve a subsurface penetrator and liquid explorer in the 2030-2040 timeframe. The Europa Lander study details the concept for placing a Lander and CryoBot/HydoBot exploration platform on the surface of Europa to search for the evidence of "life" above and below, while identifying key technologies that are critical to the success of the mission in the timeframe discussed.
