? Space Exploration: Why has the JOS space probe's mission to explore life on Jupiter's moons been delayed
The space probe, which weighs six tons, has a long journey to reach Jupiter's moons
The European Space Agency has postponed the launch of a satellite to Jupiter.
It turns out that weather conditions, such as the risk of lightning, can affect the work of the mission to determine whether Jupiter's moons have the conditions necessary to live and sustain life.
The European Space Agency says it will try to launch the rocket again tomorrow.
The journey is supposed to take eight years to reach the icy main moons of giant Jupiter.
There is good evidence that these icy worlds - Ganymede, Callisto and Europa - hold oceans of liquid water within their depths.
