Unlike past Falcon Heavy launches, SpaceX will not attempt to recover the first stage or side boosters on this flight in order to get as much performance from the boosters as possible. Europa Clipper is the size of a tennis court with its solar arrays unfurled, making it NASA&#8217;s largest planetary probe yet, SpaceX said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Falcon Heavy is giving Europa Clipper its all, sending the spacecraft to the farthest destination its ever sent, which means the mission requires the maximum performance so we won&#8217;t be <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/39607-spacex-falcon-heavy-first-test-flight-launch.html\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/39607-spacex-falcon-heavy-first-test-flight-launch.html\">recovering the boosters<\/a> tomorrow,&#8221; Julianna Scheiman, SpaceX&#8217;s director of NASA science missions at SpaceX, told reporters Sunday. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know about you guys, but I can&#8217;t think of a better mission to sacrifice boosters for, for we might have an opportunity to discover life in our own <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/16080-solar-system-planets.html\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/16080-solar-system-planets.html\">solar system<\/a>.

If SpaceX and NASA have to wait another day, they could try to launch Europa Clipper on <strong>Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 11:52 a.m. EDT (1552 GMT)<\/strong> as the launch window moves earlier each day. There is an 80% chance of good launch conditions on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, NASA and SpaceX could launch Europa Clipper <strong>any day through Nov. 6<\/strong> and still get the spacecraft to the Jupiter system by April 11, 2030.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So each of the dates on the launch period end up changing the date at which we do a gravity assist at Mars and a gravity assist at Earth,&#8221; said Jordan Evans, Europa Clipper project manager at NASA&#8217;s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. &#8220;But other than that, all trajectories arrive at Jupiter on April 11, 2030.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Editor&#8217;s note: <\/strong><\/em><em>Visit Space.com on Oct. 14, 2024 for complete coverage of the Europa Clipper mission.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/nasa-spacex-europa-clipper-launch-what-time-livestream\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch live!
