NASA and SpaceX are targeting a launch period opening Thursday, Oct. 10, for the agency’s Europa Clipper mission, which will help scientists determine if one of Jupiter’s icy moons could support life. The mission will launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.Europa Clipper will carry nine instruments and a gravity science experiment aboard to gather detailed measurements as it orbits Jupiter and conducts multiple close flybys of its moon, Europa. Research suggests an ocean twice the volume of all of Earth’s oceans exists under Europa’s icy crust.Media interested in covering the Europa Clipper launch must apply for media accreditation. Deadlines for accreditation are as follows: • U.S. citizens representing domestic or international media must apply for accreditation by 11:59 p.m. EDT, Friday, Sept. 27. • International media without U.S. citizenship must apply by 11:59 p.m., Friday, Sept. 20.Media requiring special logistical arrangements, such as space for satellite trucks, tents, or electrical connections, should email [email protected] by Tuesday, Oct. 1.A copy of NASA’s media accreditation policy is available online. For questions about accreditation, please email: [email protected]. For other mission questions, please contact NASA Kennedy’s newsroom at 321-867-2468.Accredited media will have the opportunity to participate in a series of prelaunch briefings and interviews with key mission personnel, including a briefing the week of Sept. 9. NASA will communicate additional details regarding the media event schedule as the launch date approaches.
If your passion is to communicate and engage the world online, then this is the event for you! Seize the opportunity to see and share the Europa Clipper mission launch. A maximum of 50 social media users will be selected to attend this two-day event and will be given access similar to news media. NASA Social participants will have the opportunity to: • View a launch of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket and Europa Clipper spacecraft • Tour NASA facilities at Kennedy Space Center • Meet and interact with Europa Clipper subject matter experts • Meet fellow space enthusiasts who are active on social media NASA Social registration for the Europa Clipper launch opens on Tuesday, Sept. 3, and the deadline to apply is at 10 a.m. EDT on Monday, Sept. 9. All social applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
NASA will hold a media teleconference at 4 p.m. EDT, Monday, Sept. 9, to provide an update on Europa Clipper, a mission that will study whether Jupiter’s moon Europa could be hospitable to life. The teleconference will occur after a key decision point meeting earlier that day regarding next steps for the mission.Audio of the teleconference will stream live on the agency’s website at:https://www.nasa.gov/liveParticipants in the teleconference include: • Nicola Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters • Laurie Leshin, center director, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory • Curt Niebur, Europa Clipper program scientist, NASA Headquarters • Jordan Evans, Europa Clipper project manager, NASA’s Jet Propulsion LaboratoryTo ask questions during the teleconference, media must RSVP no later than two hours before the event to Molly Wasser at: [email protected].
