![]() The remaining survivor managed to send a transmission to Dr. During their stay, unfortunately, a Europan creature broke through the ice, inadvertently crippling the craft, and killing all but one of the crew. Tsien entered Jovian orbit shortly before landing on Europa, the first manned attempt to do so. On the way to Jupiter, the crew of the Leonov discovered the existence of the Chinese spacecraft Tsein, which would arrive at Jupiter weeks ahead of Leonov. It is known that by 20,001 AD, these creatures had developed a fairly sophisticated culture and religion, and were just beginning to become a truly scientific race.Īfter the disappearance of Bowman, the Soviet Union sent the joint Soviet-American spacecrafe Jupiter System. They were relatively simple beings that only began to form any advanced tools after the destruction of the monoliths in 3001 AD. The second, semi-sentient species, was described as looking like a three-legged coral bush. The reproduction was described as looking like flowers were budding out of the creature, and then falling off to become butterfly-shaped amphibious larvae. When the vessel Tsien crashed on Europa, one member of this species, hoping to use the vessel's warmth to procreate, came up from the ocean beneath, and proceeded to wrap itself around the circle of light being cast from a single lamp which was still intact after the crash. The first of these was a part-plant-part-snake creature. Only two species from Europa are ever described in detail. Going to investigate in an EVA pod, the monolith opened and transformed Bowman into the "Starchild", an entity of pure energy. Upon arrival at Jupiter, Bowman parked Discovery at the L1 point between Jupiter and Io, where he had found a second, much larger monolith ( TMA-2). Unfortunately, the on-board AI unit, the HAL 9000, malfunctioned en route to Jupiter, and murdered all of the crew except for commander David Bowman, who managed to disconnect HAL for the remainder of the flight. Heywood Floyd, was sent to Jupiter to investigate. ![]() The American spacecraft, Discovery One, commissioned by Dr. In the year 1999, the Tycho Monolith, or TMA-1, awakened after a 3 million year stasis, sent a single very powerful radio emission directly to the Jupiter System. It was discovered, in 2010, by the crew of the ill-fated Chinese spacecraft Tsien, who reported that there was life beneath the ice, living in a previously undiscovered sub-surface ocean. The entire surface of Europa is almost completely covered with a solid sheet of ice.
