    Abstract

    The Europa Clipper mission will investigate the geophysical properties of Europa, one of Jupiter's Galilean moons, to assess its habitability. Geodetic measurements will play a critical role in determining Europa's internal structure, including the thickness of the ice shell, the presence and extent of a subsurface ocean, and the distribution of mass in the deeper interior. To build the necessary geodetic data set, the Geodesy Focus Group (GFG) coordinates cross-instrument efforts to measure Europa's global shape, rotational parameters, gravity field, and degree-2 tidal Love numbers ( k 2 and h 2 ). Here we summarize how data from the Gravity/Radio Science (G/RS) investigation, Europa Imaging System (EIS), Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding (REASON), and Europa Ultraviolet Spectrograph (Europa-UVS) will be used to infer geodetic constraints on the interior structure and to establish a precise cartographic reference system for geophysical and geological interpretation. Together, the resulting geodetic information will contribute to a deeper understanding of Europa's internal dynamics and the potential habitability of its ocean.
