Europa Clipper
ai generated text
The Europa Clipper is a space probe launched by NASA in 2024 to study Europa, a Galilean moon of Jupiter. The spacecraft is larger than any other used for previous NASA planetary missions and will perform a series of flybys of Europa while in orbit around Jupiter. It was launched on October 14, 2024, aboard a Falcon Heavy rocket and will use gravity assists from Mars and Earth before arriving at Europa in April 2030. The mission is a follow-up to the Galileo spacecraft's studies of Europa, which indicated the existence of a subsurface ocean underneath the moon's ice crust, and is expected to provide further insights into the moon's potential habitability.learn more on wikipedia
