πΈπ₯Ready for a closeup!
West Coast media view NASA Europa Clipper before the spacecraft ships to Florida. Itβs a long trip to NASA's Kennedy Space Center, but longer to Jupiterβs icy moon Europa. It will take nearly 6 years to go 1.8 billion miles!
Launch is in Oct. on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy!π
Loved the Chris Bergin - NSF breakdown of the new Starship info we got from the internal presentation π
Insane that according to the slides Star*Ship* will eventually be more powerful than Falcon Heavy...
Thanks for the breakdown Adrian Beil Alejandro Alcantarilla Romera (Alex)
Does a salty ocean that could support life exist beneath Jupiterβs one of icy moons Europa ? Spacecraft Clipper will conduct first-ever probe into this aspect when it blasts off on SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket in October.

#EuropaClipper is getting closer to finally flying. This used to be the baseline mission for #SLS but is now going to fly on #FalconHeavy . Good example of how NASA needs to become more nimble in their planning as technology is changing too fast!
