The spacecraft has entered its preliminary design review phase, so I think it's time to begin discussion of what promises to be a fascinating journey to one of the most interesting destinations in the Solar System. Dr. Robert Pappalardo, the mission's chief scientist, delivered an overview of Europa as well as a top-level description of instrumentation and objectives during a talk tonight at the Griffith Observatory as part of their monthly "All Space Considered" series, so that serves as a good starting point. His presentation starts at 29:35.
As a reminder, please carefully review rule 1.3 before commenting. In fact, please review all of them. Thanks! Europa Clipper Presentation (29:35) -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

This isn't Clipper. That's the Euro mission.
And it looks like the Russian's and Chinese may very well send their own vessel also. So possible 3 missions to Europa, Ganymede during the 2030's. |

The latest review of Europa Clipper and Europa Lander paints a less-than-rosy picture of the status of each.
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/05/wit...a-s-back-burner (This article is more about the Lander than the Clipper, so the match with this forum is ~40%.) These sagas go back and forth as we all know, but it seems like postponement is a solid possibility for the Clipper and more than likely for the Lander. |

The latest review of Europa Clipper and Europa Lander paints a less-than-rosy picture of the status of each. A friend of mine in the professional space community pointed out to me that these reports often document problems well known to the development teams. Often by the time the reports are published, project management is well toward solving the problem -------------------- |
