<\/a><\/figure>Lee esta nota de prensa en espa\u00f1ol\u00a0aqu\u00ed<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n NASA will provide live coverage of prelaunch and launch activities for Europa Clipper, the agency\u2019s mission to explore Jupiter\u2019s icy moon Europa. 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 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 For a schedule of live events and the platforms they\u2019ll stream on, visit:<\/p>\n https:\/\/go.nasa.gov\/europaclipperlive<\/a><\/p>\n The deadline for media accreditation for in-person coverage of this launch has passed.
