NASA’s Europa Clipper Mission Moving Towards October Launch Date (News Release)

NASA’s Europa Clipper mission remains on track, with a launch period opening on Thursday, October 10. The next major milestone for Clipper is Key Decision Point E on Monday, September 9, in which the agency will decide whether the project is ready to proceed to launch and mission operations.

NASA will provide more information at a mission overview and media briefing targeted for that same week.

The Europa Clipper mission team recently conducted extensive testing and analysis of transistors that help control the flow of electricity on the spacecraft. Analysis of the results suggests that the transistors can support the baseline mission.
