NASA JPL Martian honored to be leading Europa Clipper. Aztec for Life and Bassist. Not an official NASA twitter account. Opinions/views expressed are my own.






This story is really beginning to unfold: While zooming through space at 22 miles per second (35 kilometers per second), our spacecraft has deployed its solar arrays, magnetometer boom, and now the antennas for its ice-penetrating radar instrument go.nasa.gov/3Z3bDKg





🤩 One last look at #EuropaClipper as the payload fairings close! The spacecraft will be on a nearly 6-year journey to investigate if there are habitable conditions on Jupiter’s moon Europa. Liftoff is targeted for Oct. 10 on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy!🚀 blogs.nasa.gov/europaclipper/



Join NASA leaders and members of our team tomorrow for a preview of our mission to Jupiter's intriguing moon Europa and the October launch. 📺Sept. 17 at 8am PT / 11am ET / 1500 GMT: youtube.com/live/Ij1wOLJE_…

Can't wait for the launch? Trust us, we know how you feel. Here's one cool thing to tide you over until October: the Europa Clipper AR experience. Turn your mobile device into a virtual window into both the moon and our spacecraft! go.nasa.gov/44nxxIY




In less than a month, the journey begins. @EuropaClipper is a mission crafted with one overarching goal: determine if Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, has conditions suitable for life. #EuropaClipper’s launch window opens on Oct. 10. Dive in: europa.nasa.gov

That's a go: Today our mission passed a standard planning milestone known as Key Decision Point E. We're now approved to proceed toward a launch period that opens Thursday, Oct. 10. go.nasa.gov/47h65iR

.@NASA will hold a media teleconference at 4 p.m. EDT, Monday, Sept. 9, to provide an update on Europa Clipper, a mission that will study whether Jupiter’s moon Europa could be hospitable to life. The teleconference will occur after a key decision point meeting earlier that day regarding next steps for the mission. Audio of the teleconference will stream live on the agency’s website at: nasa.gov/live Learn more: nasa.gov/news-release/n…

How do you organize a NASA launch watch party? You planet! 🍿🚀🥳 Teachers - find resources for hosting a classroom watch party of our October launch:

Our mission to explore Jupiter's moon Europa remains on track, with a launch period opening on Oct. 10. We recently conducted extensive testing of our spacecraft's transistors, and results suggest they're ready to support our baseline mission. go.nasa.gov/473wa4U



A real power move! ⚡️ Here's a look at engineers and technicians at @NASAKennedy deploying the first of two massive solar arrays that will provide electricity for our spacecraft at Jupiter – which is more than five times as far from the Sun as Earth.
