A NASA-sponsored team has developed electronics that can operate reliably in the harsh radiation and temperature conditions found on distant planetary bodies like Europa, an ocean world orbiting Jupiter. Not only could this new technology enable autonomous sensors and robotic…
Description NASA’s Europa Clipper captured this image of a starfield — and the planet Uranus — on Nov. 5, 2025, while experimenting with one of its two stellar reference units. These star-tracking cameras are used for maintaining spacecraft orientation. Within…
The agency’s largest interplanetary probe tested its radar during a Mars flyby. The results include a detailed image and bode well for the mission at Jupiter’s moon Europa. As it soared past Mars in March, NASA’s Europa Clipper conducted a…
Europa Clipper's radar instrument received echoes of its very-high-frequency radar signals that bounced off Mars and were processed to develop this radargram.
NASA's Europa Clipper captured this infrared image of the heat radiation from Mars and its moons Phobos and Deimos on Feb. 28, 2025.
