This past week saw a deployment test of the @EuropaClipper magnetometer boom! It will hold 3 @UCLAEPSS magnetometers along its length, so we can measure very small fluctuations of the magnetic field near Europa while also gauging magnetic effects of the spacecraft. #PI_Daily

This week, the @EuropaClipper team deployed a 28 ft (8.5 m) boom that will support the spacecraft's magnetometer – a key instrument for confirming that an ocean lies beneath the surface of Jupiter's icy moon Europa – and the test went swimmingly!
