Just smaller than our Moon, Europa is covered by a cracked, frozen ocean (smoother than a billiard ball would be if it was the same size) and has a tenuous atmosphere (on earth it would be considered a pretty decent vacuum). It may support simple life under the surface. Here the radiation levels (540 rem/day) are less, so you'll have [[wikipedia:Walking ghost phase|up to a week or so to get your affairs together]]. [[2010: The Year We Make Contact|Attempt no landings here]]. However, the ocean under the ice is considered a good place to colonize, with the thick ice crust protecting from radiation.

As shown in the page quote, Europa played a prominent role in ''[[2010: The Year We Make Contact]]''.
