One week ago: we set sail for Jupiter's ocean moon Europa. The spacecraft is now about 2.41 million miles (3.88 million kilometers) from Earth. Next up are a series of checkouts and instrument deployments, then a flyby of Mars. All about the mission: nasa.gov/europaclipper

One week ago, we said farewell to @EuropaClipper as it began its voyage to Jupiter's ocean moon. Status update: It's already 2.4 million miles away from Earth! 🤯

Separation confirmed! @EuropaClipper is now sailing through space on its own, bound for the Jupiter system. This "message in a bottle" carries the names and hopes of millions, as we voyage together to search for a habitable world beyond Earth.

Results from new experiments suggest that if the oceans of Europa or Enceladus support life, signs of that life, in the form of organic molecules, could survive just under the surface ice despite exposure to harsh radiation. go.nasa.gov/3YcRG4H

📱Making a long-distance call from Jupiter is challenging, so NASA’s @EuropaClipper needs something a bit bigger than a cell phone! Technicians installed one big dish and several side antennas…now Earth will be on speed dial! go.nasa.gov/3z8gPTH

Jupiter’s moon Europa shows strong evidence for an ocean of liquid water beneath its icy crust. In fact, it could have all the ingredients needed for life. In October, we set sail to take a closer look – here's how we'll do it.

Like trailblazing missions before it, we'll accelerate our spacecraft's journey to the outer solar system by making gravity assist flybys of inner planets. We'll slingshot past Mars in February 2025 and Earth in December 2026. europa.nasa.gov/mission/timeli…

It's all about the journey! 🪐 25 years ago today, the Cassini spacecraft, marking the 617th day of its voyage to Saturn, completed its second flyby of the planet Venus. Cassini reached the Saturn system 5 years later in 2004. 📷 Cassini being prepared for launch in 1997
