Summary
| Description | A team received and unloaded solar arrays for NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft Feb. 21, 2024. The solar array wings travelled by air from Leiden, Netherlands, where Airbus workers assembled them over the last year. Once at the Port of Miami in Florida, a truck transported the arrays to Kennedy. Europa Clipper is slated to launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy later this year, with a planned arrival at Jupiter in April 2030. Europa Clipper is the largest spacecraft NASA has ever developed for a planetary mission, and it will seek to determine whether there are places below the surface of Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, that could support life. |
