If they do have such plans when will they go ahead with them?

There are no specific plans right now but I'm sure there are people working on such a potential mission there. There are definitely researchers working on the appropriate scientific equipment for such a task.

particular, there's a risk that existence exists decrease than Europa's floor. Europa does in fact have an extremely great ocean decrease than Europa's icy floor. Scientists think of that Europa's ocean is saved heat by tidal heating with Jupiter, which generates adequate warmth to maintain water under the exterior liquid. there has been some debate wither the heating is sufficient to warmth it to a liquid state, yet there has been sufficient info that proves that it must be in fact liquid. Now, for you existence question. i think of there may well be a lot of bacteria, on the least. it extremely is extremely no longer undemanding to declare what sort of existence might exist in Europa, if it exists in any respect. i can be certain small fishes and tube worms and issues like that. bear in mind, existence does no longer unavoidably want solar to stay. working example, deep in Earth's ocean, there are hydrothermal vents the place total ecosystems are observed there. decrease than those circumstances, not one of the sunshine from the solar reaches to the backside of the sea, and existence is going on down there with none photosynthesis. The mind's eye is countless to think of the accessible existence decrease than Europa. yet, i do no longer think of there may well be very better species on Europa, because of fact i think of they might of made their presence, like human beings and their satellites and area exploration.

I dont know, but if they do it might be Nasa's Greatest mission ever if they send something to jupiters moon (Europa) and discover some biological life form.

They have to figure out a way to not contaminate Europa with Earth organisms let alone all those engineering feats that need to happen first.
