NASA is targeting launch at 12:31 p.m. EDT Thursday, Oct. 10, on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond Earth, Jupiter\u2019s moon Europa is considered one of the solar system\u2019s most promising potentially habitable environments. After an approximately 1.8-billion-mile 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\u2019s surface, which scientists believe contains twice as much liquid water as Earth\u2019s oceans.<\/p>\n<p>For a schedule of live events and the platforms they\u2019ll stream on, visit:<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n<p><a>The deadline for media accreditation for in-person coverage of this launch has passed.
