The terraforming of Europa is the hypothetical process of boosting the global environment of Europa, where its climate, surface and known properties are deliberately changed with the goal of making it habitable for human colonization without the use of a spacesuit. Although recent astronomical studies indicate it has the greatest potential for being the only other body in the Solar System to sustain life (along with planet Mars), terraformation of this moon proves a challenge, as Europa is near a huge radiation belt around Jupiter, but through the usage of man-made space technology, this radiation could be overcome. There are some major changes required in this:
