Countdown begins: Nasa set to launch Europa Clipper mission to Jupiter today

NASA is set to launch the Europa Clipper spacecraft to explore Jupiter’s moon, Europa, on October 14, using SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket. The mission aims to determine if Europa can support life beneath its icy surface. The journey, spanning 2.9 billion kilometers, is expected to take 5.5 years, with arrival projected for 2030. The spacecraft, measuring 100 feet and weighing 6,000 kg, will conduct 49 flybys, analyzing conditions for potential life. Previous missions have confirmed the presence of a subsurface ocean on Europa. #EuropaClipper #SpaceXFalcon #NASA #Jupiter #Falcon #ScienceNews #Worldnews #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~PR.320~ED.155~HT.334~
