Who doesn't like a good unboxing – especially when there's a spaceship inside. 🛰 As pre-launch processing NASA's Kennedy Space Center continues, we're getting ever closer to our launch in October! See the latest: go.nasa.gov/4c1RkS1 #GoEuropaClipper
🎁OH MY! Here’s the big reveal of NASA Europa Clipper! The spacecraft is out of the box and processing has started ahead of the journey to Jupiter’s moon Europa. Launch is targeted for October on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy from LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. ℹ️ go.nasa.gov/4bCpdco
A Project Scientist to look up to--Ed Stone was the best and will be sorely missed. NASA Voyager
This was a huge effort, done with our usual exacting approach and high standards. The NASA Europa Clipper science is so worth it, and we want to be sure we can get every bit of it! Now onward the the final gauntlet of reviews to certify we're ready for launch and ops! 2/3
