Amazing technology!!

Europa Clipper is the world's first mission to investigate Jupiter's fourth-largest moon, Europa, to explore the possibility of conditions suitable for life. Here's what you need to know: Brought into orbit by a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on October 15, 2024, Europa Clipper will take approximately six years to travel to Jupiter. Once there, the spacecraft will spend 3.5 years orbiting the planet and conduct 44 flybys of Europa. These flybys will range from 25 km to 2,700 km above the icy moon's surface. Europa Clipper is also the first NASA spacecraft dedicated to studying an ocean world beyond Earth. It hopes to discover whether life could be sustained in the vast oceans underneath the moon's icy surface. On top of that, it's the largest spacecraft ever developed by NASA for a planetary mission! #space #nasa #europa #jupiter #exploration
