We have questions about Europa: How thick is its ice shell? How deep is its ocean? Is it somewhere life might thrive? To find out, we've assembled a whole suite of science instruments, and now they're loaded aboard our spacecraft ahead of our Oct. launch!

Explore the fascinating exterior and mysterious interior of Europa, and how each of our science instruments will help solve the enigmas surrounding them:

You can watch live as our spacecraft goes through the the final stages of preparation before our launch slated for later this year

Hey @NASA! 🚀 I have 2 questions about the Europa Clipper mission : 1. How does the spacecraft tackle Jupiter's harsh radiation for detailed Europa observations? 2. How will the clipper's data contribute to our understanding of icy moon evolution and the possibility of life?

@NASA 1. Rather than directly orbit Europa, which is bathed in radiation, the spacecraft will instead perform dozens of fast, close flybys of the moon. Also, Europa Clipper's most sensitive electronics will be enclosed in a thick-walled vault. 2. Details here:

And for our next trick..a drone, a drill rig, probes and a submarine!

This should have been a mission to test the hypothesis of electric discharge machining. The features which have been labeled as "cracks" upon close inspection are really trenches, which is supported by the obvious observation that they do not even interact w one another.

Europa's magnetic field (MF) is considered as evidence for sub-surface ocean But Enceladus does not have a MF & YET, sub-surface oceans are claimed for it ! And why the MF logic is not applied to Mercury ? Care to explain ?

@NASASolarSystem Post pictures of life at other planets...... no clue why you guys hide that information from the public.

Fascinating
