$5bn Nasa mission will assess whether ice-covered moon that is thought to have twice Earth’s water is habitable

The Europa Clipper mission is due to blast off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 12.06pm local time on Monday after the original plan to launch on Thursday was scrapped due to the battering winds brought by Hurricane Milton.
