With NASA\u2019s Europa Clipper just weeks away from launch, five short videos give a behind-the-scenes peek at some of the engineers dedicated to making the mission a success.<\/em><\/p>\n

What does it take to build a massive spacecraft that will seek to determine if a mysterious moon has the right ingredients for life? Find out in a new video series called \u201cBehind the Spacecraft,\u201d which offers behind-the-scenes glimpses into the roles of five engineers working on NASA\u2019s Europa Clipper mission, from building the spacecraft\u2019s communications systems to putting it through rigorous tests so the orbiter can meet its science goals in space.<\/p>\n

With its launch period opening Thursday, Oct. 10, Europa Clipper is the agency\u2019s first mission dedicated to exploring an ocean world beyond Earth. The spacecraft will travel 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion kilometers) to the Jupiter system, where it will investigate the gas giant\u2019s moon Europa, which scientists believe contains a global saltwater ocean beneath its icy shell.<\/p>\n

The videos are being released here<\/a> weekly. The first two are already out.<\/p>\n
