Watch SpaceX Launch NASA's Europa Clipper to Jupiter / Europa!

The Europa Clipper mission is embarking on an in-depth exploration of Jupiter's moon, Europa, where conditions might support life. This spacecraft will journey 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion km) to arrive at Jupiter by April 2030. Once there, it will enter an orbit around Jupiter and perform 49 detailed flybys of Europa to study its potential for life.
NASA is launching this Discovery Class mission on SpaceX's Falcon Heavy. The rocket will be fully expended to unleash all the performance from Falcon Heavy necessary for a mission to Jupiter.

Is it a great time to be a fan of rockets. Space X is entertaining the heck out of us these days between Star Ship, Falcon Heavy, and Falcon launches. Thanks Everyday Astronaut for all the hard work you and the team are doing to put us in a great seat on this roller coaster of a ride!

[@svenno9951]

Clipper probe weight is 13,000 pounds and even though Falcon Heavy is very capable, the probe has to be carefully crafted to minimize weight, be folded up to fit the nosecone, ETC. Imagine the capability of probes that won't have to make many compromises (if any) if they are placed on their trajectory by the Starship system with a payload capacity of over 200,000 pounds.

[@lcarlson7725]

Knowing human nature, it won't take long for scientists to maximize future satellite vehicles even when using Starship. Origami will be alive and well in the future, I'm sure

That was the best landing I ever seen in my life time .i am 63 years old I can’t believe it still ! I have to watch it many more times to get my mind to believe it. If you know what I mean.

[@davidhenderson1073]

I watched it with you Tim, I think we were all speachless like never before.(re booster catch)

[@tomwilliam5118]

In the opening segment, I remember watching the Apollo and the Saturn and the space shuttle launches. I lived in Pompano Beach and would drive up to watch him and it was truly amazing to feel the roar of those engines so far away.

[@jull1234]

[54:52] Having the hardware ride back on the recovered center core would at least make the additional stuff symmetrical. They'd only be on one side of the side booster if attached the other direction, would make things a little trickier for them.

[@LucR.-sb8tk]

Cool coverage Tim!!

Hope to be back when it reaches Europa

[@griffahnert1275]

Do you have any videos on simple orbital mechanics concepts you talked about like gravity assists, reasons for using helio centric orbit, ect. I think there would be a lot of interest (at the very least from me)

[@artofplanets]

I’m looking forward to a test of launching the same booster and two Starships on the same day!

[@richardloewen7177]

Could you do a study and presentation of the techniques of sterilizing the Europa Clipper, so that any signs of life detected at that moon won't be confounded by the possibility that it hitched a ride with the probe?

[@breddygud6890]

Huh, wasn't this supposed to launch on the SLS? If I remember correctly, the money to develop that sure was put to good use

[@lproth]

2 billion per launch vs 150 million falcon heavy, Yea government contractors cost overruns!

[@jeremysart]

35:00 Go for launch. T minus 35 seconds

[@stick004]

Is it possible that the stats graphic was made prior to the 5th Starship launch? That would line up with the 4 launches that weren’t missions. But then why are we not counting all the test launches of Falcon?? I don’t know…

[@tomwilliam5118]

What happens to the boosters do they just sink to the bottom of the ocean or are they gonna be picked up and scrapped?

So none of the boosters recovered on this one?

[@TJ-W]

I was wondering the same thing. That’s the whole reason I watch these things. I was definitely looking forward to a double landing again.

[@ToxicJelly9]

Think they needed to expend both stages to give it enough delta-v for the trajectory towards Europa

[@Persianking1997]

None. They landed them in the ocean.

Europa Clipper is a wierd one, idk what's the point of looking for life support near Jupiter.

[@AmbientMorality]

We don't know of anywhere besides Earth with life, so finding life would be really fascinating: what's different about it? If it's on Europa, is it common for life to exist if the conditions are right? And even if there isn't life on Europa, then there is a ton we don't know about ocean worlds, and they seem incredibly common both in our solar system and likely everywhere, so learning about them is very neat.

[@davidgapp1457]

It's just sad the radiation is so intense around Europa. It's not an environment we can visit in person - a reminder that space can be a very, very hostile environment! Personally, having a long involvement in genetic engineering, I am convinced that life on earth is not unique in our solar system, but it would be so exciting to have actual confirmation. However, if we are truly unique in the Milky Way, it behooves us to take better care of our planet, and better care of our species. We simply cannot ignore our responsibilities towards this gem of a world.
