NASA’s Europa Clipper is the first mission dedicated to studying Jupiter’s icy moon Europa, one of the most promising places in our solar system to find an environment suitable for life outside of Earth. Evidence suggests that beneath Europa’s frozen…
On its journey to the Jupiter system, NASA’s Europa Clipper will take a path that swings past Mars, then Earth, using the gravity of each planet as a slingshot to boost the spacecraft’s speed. All told, the journey will take…
NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft will be launched on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This graphic shows the expected timeline of milestones immediately following liftoff if the mission launches at the beginning of…

Scientists think that under the icy surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa a saltwater ocean exists that may contain more than twice as much liquid water as all of Earth’s oceans combined. This artist’s concept (not to scale) depicts what Europa’s…
NASA’s Europa Clipper is tasked with up-close study of Jupiter’s enigmatic moon Europa, which orbits the gas giant within a band of powerful radiation generated by the planet’s strong magnetic field. The relative intensity of Jupiter’s radiation bands is illustrated…
This artist’s concept depicts the long, looping path NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft will take to reach the Jupiter system. Covering a distance of about 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion kilometers), the path swings past Mars, then Earth, using the two…
Meet Dipak Srinivasan, a communications systems engineer for the Europa Clipper spacecraft, NASA’s mission to explore Europa, a moon of Jupiter believed to have a vast ocean beneath its icy surface. Having worked on Europa Clipper’s communications system for twelve…
Technicians prepare to install the nearly 10 feet (3 meters) wide dish-shaped high-gain antenna to NASA’s Europa Clipper, a spacecraft to study Jupiter’s icy moon, at the agency’s Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday,…
