Europa Clipper: What's So Cool About Jupiter's Icy Moon? (Live Q&A)
Ғылым және технология
NASA's next outer solar system mission, Europa Clipper, will gather detailed measurements of Jupiter’s moon Europa. Scientists think the intriguing moon may contain a salty ocean below a miles-thick ice shell, and the Europa Clipper mission - which is scheduled for launch in 2024 - will investigate whether it could have conditions suitable for life.
Join us Sept 28th at 1:00 pm PT for a live Q&A from JPL's High Bay 1 clean room and see Europa Clipper up close in the early stages of assembly. We'll discuss what we want to learn from Europa and what kind of instruments we will use to explore it with project staff scientist Cynthia Phillips and project system engineer Jennifer Dooley.

Really cool idea doing this at the window into the actual assembly room.
I missed some parts and answers so I will rewatch tomorrow. It was great fun talking to you about this cool mission.
Pretty cool to see the development of The Europa Clipper coming together
Great Q&A! Lots of cool insights into what should be an amazing mission.
And… I just went and looked at Jupiter with binoculars! I think I could make out some of the moons like she said, i never knew you could see that, and that was with an obscene amount of light pollution.
europa pics from cassini in late 2000s were pretty good
So cool to be able to hear about these things. Thanks
That's an exiting mission indeed, great video !!
Great project to explore mysteries of Universe.....
Thank you so much to all Y'all.
Thanks !
I've had the pleasure of visiting a few spacecraft in their clean rooms before launch. Highly recommend it if you get the chance!
Ciao. Bellezza. E. Complimenti. Per. Il. Tuo. Programma
im in 3 gard and learning about space.

Will the James Webb be tasked to obtain images of either JUNOs flyby and/or the Clipper?

No telescope can see spacecraft at those distances.
Impressive good looking scientist, love the presentation.

Why build an orbiter and not a lander
Why they don't stay in orbit for many years??? ...that will really help to study Europa

They can only bring so much fuel. It takes fuel to operate the thrusters that allow them to change the orbital position around Europa, and also in pointing the spacecraft in the direction necessary for imaging and instrument functions. Fuel means weight and size, and weight and size dictate the size of the rocket that can be used to launch with. And the cost. This is also why they proposed changing the end of mission profile from flying into Jupiter to burn up, to instead flying to and crashing into Ganymede, as this would conserve more fuel, to enable more science to be done during the primary mission phase.

@@EchoesDistant I know that, they need fuel to stay in orbit ....but still there are some orbits that they don't require much fuel...like Lagrangian point...but is sad if they can't find an orbit like that in Jupiter

Why are you not concerned with possibly contaminating Ganymede by crashing into it rather than guaranteed total inhalation at Jupiter?

i think you mean "annihilation."
Don't you think it's time for space mining?
Europa was first observed by Galileo Galilei and probably has an iron, nickel core covered by a rocky mantle of silicate with liquid water filling in the gap between the mantle and the comparatively smooth ice sheet covering the surface of Europa. Recycling of the water and the ice sheets are probably why the surface is so smooth compare to other moons. Europa is likely to have been around for 4.5 billion years and yet the surface ice might only be 50 million years old. The minerals in the rocks and the liquid water on Europa could potentially mean that there is life underneath the icy surface similar to that found on Earth near the hydrothermal vents in the depths of our oceans. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6N10sGHprKtgrw.html

We don't know what system that potential life elsewhere may use. That's part of what we are looking for with every mission we send beyond the Earth (and moon).
I guess a big part of the science mission is figuring out exactly when each instrument team gets to make observations during flybys, presumably because the instruments can't all be used at the same time? Does everyone play nice? 😆

They work all this out ahead of time. They have to do this to ensure they get the most production possible out of the very limited time available.

Big note about Europa being a moon of Jupiter, Jupiter let’s out a massive amount of radiation. A human on the surface with our current space suits would not survive long just from the radiation Jupiter is pelting it’s moons with.

I like this video, the problem is. In any clean room . There should never be any cameras . The Russians used to copy are stuff looking at model toys. Now they got hd video…………. China s rover is a spitting image or ares and nothing is said……….also everything your saying is a decade old knowledge ……

Good luck with Russia trying to create the technology necessary to match what NASA/JPL/ESA is capable of. Russia gave up on space exploration a long time ago. 😅

Let me get this right!! Hasn't Europa been touted for decades as being one of the best candidates if not the best candidate for finding "life" within the solar system?!! Isn't the primary goal of space exploration finding life?!!! But your not sending any type life detection equipment??? I think somebody should reconsider how you deliver your ongoing racket to the sheeple! The idea that these guys are actually looking for non terrestrial life considering all the tools at their disposal they don't deploy these measures. Actual science would finds answers and remove the ongoing baseline of ambiguous results. seems more important to dangle the idea of signs of past habitable conditions or signs of ancient past life. "keep looking" discover nothing resell primary goal of looking for life have no answers then repeat
