Designed and built at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics on the CU Boulder campus, the $50 million SUDA instrument — or Europa Surface Dust Analyzer — will travel aboard a NASA spacecraft and travel 1.9 billion miles across our solar system.
Scientist believe Europa has a vast ocean that contains more saltwater than our oceans here on Earth. SUDA will analyze particles without touching the surface and determine if those liquid oceans could harbor conditions for suitable life. Engineers made sure to send a little bit of Colorado out into space by engraving an image of Ralphie, CU Boulder's mascot, on the SUDA instrument.
