#Europa #Clipper #Nasa
A team of planetary protection specialists is working to keep NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft as clean as possible before its launch.

This is important because the spacecraft will perform flybys of Jupiter's moon Europa, which may have an ocean beneath its icy surface that could harbor life. While the spacecraft won’t touch Europa’s surface, strict protocols are in place to protect Europa and other celestial bodies from contamination by Earth microbes.
Throughout the spacecraft’s construction, samples have been collected and tested to ensure they meet planetary protection standards. Akemi Hinzer from NASA’s Planetary Protection Lab explains the team's detailed process in an episode of Spacecraft Makers, a video series showcasing how missions like Europa Clipper are built.
The spacecraft is set to launch in October 2024 and will reach Jupiter in 2030.
