Happy #NationalSpaceDay #BTSARMY !
Here’s our dear #wootteo gearing up getting ready to move the NASA Europa Clipper spacecraft to NASA's Kennedy Space Center later this month, for final integration and testing with the launch vehicle. Launching later in October, then onwards to Jupiter! 🚀

Your name here: If you signed up to send your name to Europa, it has been loaded aboard our spacecraft, along with messages and artwork connecting one water world with another. To see – and hear – more, just dive in: go.nasa.gov/4bFPqY8 #GoEuropaClipper
What a way to celebrate #NationalSpaceDay ! Got to suit up & see our NASA Europa Clipper spacecraft up close before it heads to FL for final launch preparations. Special thanks to our team of extraordinary craftspeople who built this incredible machine. #DareMightyThingsTogether
One for you Blocks magazine #ICYMI
There is a Lego MOC of this spacecraft. Parts list and instructions here NASA Europa Clipper NASA Solar System :

VOLUME UP!
Moving a 6,000-pound spacecraft is tricky, like when we maneuvered NASA Europa Clipper into JPL's thermal vacuum chamber, where teams simulated the conditions it will experience in space.
Up next: Moving the spacecraft from our California clean room to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
BTS NASA ARMY⁷ NASA Europa Clipper NASA's Kennedy Space Center Wait!!!! Wootteo is actually going to space 🥹 really?! I’m so happy about this!!!!!

The microchip (the small green square near the top of the vault plate in the 1st pic), which contains the names of 2.6 million people and Ada Limón's poem, is now attached to the #EuropaClipper spacecraft!
The plate was attached on Friday, May 3.

How cold is Europa's surface? Let's just say your tauntaun would definitely freeze before you reached the first marker. But if there are any relatively warm spots, our thermal imaging system will detect them: europa.nasa.gov/spacecraft/ins…
