If you build it, they will come!

Excitement is building as NASA Europa Clipper – the largest spacecraft NASA has ever built for a planetary mission – nears launch this October. But before it heads to NASA's Kennedy Space Center, we gave the media one final close-up: go.nasa.gov/49EnwJz

How exactly do you build a spacecraft like NASA Europa Clipper?
It takes thousands of parts and a huge team of very smart and creative people. Learn more about the process ⬇️

How big is the NASA Europa Clipper spacecraft?
With its massive solar arrays deployed, Europa Clipper spans more than 100 ft (about 30 m) – about the length of a basketball court – and is the largest spacecraft NASA has ever developed for a planetary mission.

How will NASA Europa Clipper study Jupiter's icy moon?
Europa Clipper will perform 50 flybys of Europa to gather measurements of the internal ocean, map the surface composition and geology, and hunt for plumes of water vapor that may be venting from the icy crust.

Why visit Europa?
Jupiter’s moon shows strong evidence of an ocean of liquid water beneath its icy crust and could have all the “ingredients” needed for life as we know it. Visiting Europa could help us answer big questions like, 'How did the universe begin and evolve?'

Earth isn’t the only planet in our solar system that experiences solar eclipses – Mars does, too!

While Martian moons aren’t the right size or distance to fully cover the Sun, NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover recently spotted some cool transits. ⬇️

We're going live from the NASA Europa Clipper clean room next week to show you the spacecraft before it leaves JPL and heads to NASA's Kennedy Space Center to prep for launch this October.

What would you like to see inside the clean room, or what should discuss?

Engineers have confirmed that corrupted memory aboard my twin has been causing it to send unreadable data to Earth. It may take months, but our team is optimistic they can find a way for the FDS to operate normally again: go.nasa.gov/3vGOBhw
