LIVE: NASA's Europa Clipper Mission To Jupiter Launch | NASA Kennedy Space Center | NASA LIVE | CNBC TV18
Live coverage of launch of Europa Clipper on its way to Jupiter’s moon. Launch is scheduled for 1606GMT. After an approximately 1.8-billion-mile (3-billion-km) journey, Europa Clipper will enter orbit around Jupiter in April 2030, where the spacecraft will conduct a detailed survey of Europa to determine whether the icy world could have conditions suitable for life. Europa Clipper is the largest spacecraft NASA has ever developed for a planetary mission. It carries a suite of nine instruments along with a gravity experiment that will investigate an ocean beneath Europa’s surface, which scientists believe contains twice as much liquid water as Earth’s oceans.
