Alas, orbital mechanics waits for no robot…
Thanks for the assist, @NASAMars!

At last report, the Europa Clipper spacecraft is power positive, thermally stable, dynamically stable, and traveling at astonishing speed. And so are you – don't let anyone tell you different! You got this. #MondayMotivation

We have a very healthy and well-behaved spacecraft. And 79,200 mph relative to the sun is pretty darn fast, thanks to our @NASA_LSP @SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch! The team continues to Work tirelessly to checkout all of Europa Clipper’s systems. 🚀

This story is really beginning to unfold: While zooming through space at 22 miles per second (35 kilometers per second), our spacecraft has deployed its solar arrays, magnetometer boom, and now the antennas for its ice-penetrating radar instrument go.nasa.gov/3Z3bDKg

🤩 One last look at #EuropaClipper as the payload fairings close!
The spacecraft will be on a nearly 6-year journey to investigate if there are habitable conditions on Jupiter’s moon Europa. Liftoff is targeted for Oct. 10 on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy!🚀

We are getting so close to the launch of @EuropaClipper and my fellow @SDSU friends/roommates and I recorded a song to celebrate! 🚀 Music is a great stress relief and balance to the challenges of helping to develop a mission like #EuropaClipper

First we counted in years until launch. Then months. Then weeks. Now we are 27 days from the opening of the @EuropaClipper launch period. The journey to create this amazing machine ends and, in 27 days, the journey through space to unlock the mysteries of Europa begins! 🚀
In less than a month, the journey begins.
@EuropaClipper is a mission crafted with one overarching goal: determine if Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, has conditions suitable for life.
#EuropaClipper’s launch window opens on Oct. 10. Dive in: europa.nasa.gov

Achieving today’s milestone is the work of many hands, across many organizations, giving of themselves. Thank you #TeamEuropaClipper for your diligence and focus as we prepare for the upcoming launch. 🚀 #DareMightyThingsTogether

That's a go: Today our mission passed a standard planning milestone known as Key Decision Point E. We're now approved to proceed toward a launch period that opens Thursday, Oct. 10. go.nasa.gov/47h65iR

An update on the amazing work of the @EuropaClipper team is coming this Monday! Onward! 🚀
6 Sep 2024
.@NASA will hold a media teleconference at 4 p.m. EDT, Monday, Sept. 9, to provide an update on Europa Clipper, a mission that will study whether Jupiter’s moon Europa could be hospitable to life. The teleconference will occur after a key decision point meeting earlier that day regarding next steps for the mission.
Audio of the teleconference will stream live on the agency’s website at: nasa.gov/live

Our mission to explore Jupiter's moon Europa remains on track, with a launch period opening on Oct. 10. We recently conducted extensive testing of our spacecraft's transistors, and results suggest they're ready to support our baseline mission. go.nasa.gov/473wa4U

It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted. I guess I’ve been busy with the amazing @EuropaClipper project! Check out what we’ve been up to…
It’s so thrilling to see it all come together and to see the incredible team @NASAJPL @JHUAPL and @NASA_LSP bring this all together! 🚀
16 Aug 2024
A real power move! ⚡️ Here's a look at engineers and technicians at @NASAKennedy deploying the first of two massive solar arrays that will provide electricity for our spacecraft at Jupiter – which is more than five times as far from the Sun as Earth.

Your package is out for delivery. 📦🚀
Our spacecraft recently traveled from @NASAJPL to @NASAKennedy ahead of the October launch. But moving a 7,000-pound spacecraft across the country is a whole process. Let our lead engineer walk you through it, step by step.

We BELIEVE in daring mighty things together.
It takes a lot of teamwork to prepare a spacecraft, and before @EuropaClipper was packed up for its journey to @NASAKennedy, we had a special visit by a special “coach.” #GoEuropaClipper

Guess who is going to be live in the cleanroom tomorrow sharing the awesome work that the @EuropaClipper team is doing as we prepare for our launch later this year?
Sorry, it’s not @WilliamShatner
It’s just me! 🚀
The @EuropaClipper spacecraft will soon head to @NASAKennedy to prepare for launch, so don't miss your chance to get a tour of the spacecraft up close in the JPL clean room.
