"It's like a game of billiards around the solar system, flying by a couple of planets at just the right angle and timing to ...

The spacecraft, launched in 2024, will use gravitational assists from Mars and Earth to reach Jupiter’s moon Europa by 2030.

The Europa Clipper launched Monday afternoon aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, which is designed to help propel the spacecraft on a six-year journey to reach its namesake moon, an icy ocean world.

It was a history making launch -- when NASA’s Europa Clipper embarked on its long five-year voyage to Jupiter. The $5 billion spacecraft is the largest ever built for a mission headed to another ...

Given the massive amounts of radiation in the Jovian system, Europa Clipper will do 50 flybys of the moon over the course of four years to reduce damage to instruments as well as give it windows ...

On March 1, NASA's Europa Clipper will streak just 550 miles (884 kilometers) above the surface of Mars for what's known as a gravity assist—a maneuver to bend the spacecraft's trajectory and ...

This week, NASA released the first image from the Europa Clipper spacecraft's voyage. The image is a mosaic of a star field, created from three shots the solar-powered orbiter captured in December ...

NASA has been preparing for their Europa Clipper mission since 2013, when the mission’s pre-project was approved. The spacecraft is roughly the length of a basketball court, making it the ...

Soon, they may have answers. In October, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will send Europa Clipper, a satellite orbiter with nine analytical instruments, to Europa to study its ...

With an array of scientific instruments, Europa Clipper will study the water, energy, and chemistry present on the moon. Europa Clipper will use cameras that detect visible, infrared, and ultraviolet ...
