If you build it, they will come!
Excitement is building as NASA Europa Clipper – the largest spacecraft NASA has ever built for a planetary mission – nears launch this October. But before it heads to NASA's Kennedy Space Center, we gave the media one final close-up: go.nasa.gov/49EnwJz
🔴 Welcome to the Spacecraft Assembly Facility - we’re live!
See NASA Europa Clipper up close before we ship it to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in preparation for launch this October. Drop your questions in the chat for a chance to get them answered live on-air!

How exactly do you build a spacecraft like NASA Europa Clipper?
It takes thousands of parts and a huge team of very smart and creative people. Learn more about the process ⬇️
How will NASA Europa Clipper study Jupiter's icy moon?
Europa Clipper will perform 50 flybys of Europa to gather measurements of the internal ocean, map the surface composition and geology, and hunt for plumes of water vapor that may be venting from the icy crust.
The NASA Europa Clipper spacecraft will soon head to NASA's Kennedy Space Center to prepare for launch, so don't miss your chance to get a tour of the spacecraft up close in the JPL clean room.

Earth isn’t the only planet in our solar system that experiences solar eclipses – Mars does, too!
While Martian moons aren’t the right size or distance to fully cover the Sun, NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover recently spotted some cool transits. ⬇️
We're going live from the NASA Europa Clipper clean room next week to show you the spacecraft before it leaves JPL and heads to NASA's Kennedy Space Center to prep for launch this October.
What would you like to see inside the clean room, or what should discuss?
