Jupiter’s moon Europa shows strong evidence for an ocean of liquid water beneath its icy crust. In fact, it could have all the ingredients needed for life. In October, we set sail to take a closer look – here's how we'll do it.

Congratulations Juice team! See you at Jupiter.

🎤Earlier today, more than 300 NASA employees had the opportunity to hear from Europa Clipper’s project scientist Dr. Robert Pappalardo in person and virtually. Dr. Pappalardo spoke to employees about the science behind exploring Jupiter's moon Europa, and how it could be the

Almost time to spread our wings! 🦋 At NASA's Kennedy Space Center, our spacecraft has been outfitted with its solar array "wings." They're not only huge, but strong enough to withstand the harsh conditions around Jupiter's intriguing moon Europa. go.nasa.gov/3Z2xWBh

24 Hours ⏩ 2 Minutes! Get a behind-the-scenes look at the assembly of NASA Europa Clipper! One of the main objectives during this time period was to install & test the spacecraft’s massive solar arrays, which are needed to travel the 1.8 BILLION-mile journey to meet up with Jupiter.

How do you organize a NASA launch watch party? You planet! 🍿🚀🥳 Teachers - find resources for hosting a classroom watch party of our October launch:

National Matchmaker Day? That's right up our alley! LSP has been playing Cupid since 1998, mating spacecraft to launch vehicles! 🛰️🚀 We're hard launching our latest perfect match this October - Europa Clipper & SpaceX Falcon Heavy! 💞

Picture this: what might exist below Europa's surface? If you know creative kids, encourage them to submit to our new art challenge. Entries submitted by Sept. 30 may be featured online or during the launch broadcast in October! Get the full picture: go.nasa.gov/ArtChallenge

MEDIA: Accreditation is open for the NASA Europa Clipper mission launch to Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa! NASA and SpaceX are targeting a launch period opening Oct. 10 atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A. Apply by Sept. 27: go.nasa.gov/4gemHf5

It's time for the next stop in our "Voyage of Europa Clipper: Exploring an Alien Ocean" roadshow. Come meet our team at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, now through Sept. 9. Explore the connections between the ocean worlds of Earth and Jupiter's moon Europa.

Online storytellers: Do you want to attend the NASA Europa Clipper launch in Florida next month and share the experience with your communities? 🚀 Apply for our #NASASocial, a two-day event with up to 50 digital creators. Deadline is Sept. 9 at 7am PT: go.nasa.gov/3Zafzu8

🌟 The NASA Administrator joined us in Florida last week to take a peak at NASA Europa Clipper! Bill Nelson visited the spacecraft (the largest NASA has ever developed for a planetary mission!) inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

How do we make sure to avoid contaminating other worlds with Earth microbes? 🦠 It's called "planetary protection," and the NASA Europa Clipper team has been working to keep the spacecraft super clean for the last six years. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the process:

Voyager 1 captured a lot of amazing shots, but for some reason we're partial to this one from March 1979...
