Bloomberg Quicktake | NASA Launches Europa Clipper to Icy Moon of Jupiter @BloombergQuicktake | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
#NASA launched a $5.2 billion mission to #Jupiter frozen moon #Europa on Monday, a major step to determine if the distant world has the conditions to host life.
In a voyage more than a decade in the making, the #EuropaClipper spacecraft lifted off aboard a #SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Florida at 12:06 p.m. New York time.
The #rocket is scheduled to deploy the Clipper craft about an hour into the mission, putting the deep-space probe en route to reach Europa by 2030.
During the course of the mission, the probe will come as close as 16 miles (25.7 kilometers) to the surface. The spacecraft won’t be landing, but will perform roughly 50 flybys over four years.
