NASAs Europa Clipper Mission: By the Numbers
As NASA's largest planetary spacecraft heads to the solar system's largest planet to study one of its moons, let's take a closer look inside the numbers of NASA's Europa Clipper mission.
Managed by Caltech in Pasadena, California, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory leads the development of the Europa Clipper mission in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The main spacecraft body was designed by APL in collaboration with NASA JPL and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. The Planetary Missions Program Office at Marshall executes program management of the Europa Clipper mission.
NASA's Launch Services Program, based at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, manages the launch service for the Europa Clipper spacecraft, which will launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA Kennedy in Florida in just under 40 minutes.
