NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory | Live From the Clean Room - Building Europa Clipper @NASAJPL | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 2 days ago
Watch live as NASA's next outer solar system mission, Europa Clipper, is built and tested in the Spacecraft Assembly Facility at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. NASA's Europa Clipper mission will perform dozens of close flybys of Jupiter’s moon Europa, gathering detailed measurements to investigate whether the moon could have conditions suitable for life.
You are viewing activities in High Bay 1 at JPL. The large aluminum cylinder visible on the left is Europa Clipper’s main body. Standing 10 feet (3 meters) tall and 5 feet (1.5 meters) wide, the main body is integrated with electronics, radios, thermal loop tubing, cabling, and the spacecraft’s propulsion system. The aluminum box visible on the right, which is currently lifted with a panel open that reveals electronics inside, is Europa Clipper’s electronics vault. Space near Jupiter is a dangerous mix of different types of radiation, and the vault will shield electronics to reduce the impact of radiation. Additional Europa Clipper assembly operations are taking place in clean rooms at JPL and at partner institutions across the United States.
