NASA's Europa Clipper mission, launching on October 2024, will orbit Jupiter and conduct 49 close flybys of Europa, an icy moon with a subsurface ocean potentially harbouring life.

SpaceX is gearing up for the much-anticipated launch of NASAs Europa Clipper mission to Jupiters moon, Europa, next week. After overcoming recent Falcon 9 setbacks, SpaceX has encapsulated the satellite within the

NASA is poised to launch Europa Clipper, a $5.2 billion mission to Jupiter’s fourth-largest moon, as early as October 10. The spacecraft will blast off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. It will study Europa, a possible home for extraterrestrial life, through a series of flybys after reaching Jupiter in 2030.

Nasa is doing just that: launching a spacecraft on October 10 to Europa, a moon of Jupiter holding twice the water of all Earth’s oceans combined. Europa’s ocean is between 60 and 150 kilometres deep and is hidden beneath an outer shell of ice that’s 15 to 25 kilometres thick.

NASA’s Europa Clipper mission is scheduled for launch on October 10, 2024, from Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. The mission aims to explore Europa, one of Jupiter’s icy moons,
