On March 1, 2025, the Europa Clipper spacecraft performed a gravity assist maneuver at Mars. The project took the opportunity to perform the first end-to-end functional test of the Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding: Ocean to Near-surface (REASON), an ice-penetrating radar instrument on Europa Clipper. REASON successfully collected ~5000 km of interferometric dual frequency data across Elysium Planitia through to Hellas Planitia in the equatorial of Mars. We discuss the implications of this test for the exploration of Europa and the other moons of Jupiter.
