Progress reports on Europa Clipper’s road to launch, including the latest information on launch dates, can be found on the Europa Clipper mission blog: blogs.nasa.gov/europaclipper.

News, updates, and feature stories about the Europa Clipper mission are available at science.nasa.gov/mission/europa-clipper/newsroom.

Additional information about launch windows (the potential time each day Europa Clipper can launch) can be found at science.nasa.gov/mission/europa-clipper/launch-windows.

Interviews with team members from the Europa Clipper mission may be arranged by calling the JPL newsroom at 818-354-5011 or filling out this form.

A collection of b-roll and animations for media and public use is available at bit.ly/EuropaRawVideo.

A collection of embeddable Europa Clipper videos is also available on JPL’s YouTube channel.

Additional images related to the Europa Clipper mission are available at the mission’s Multimedia page, the NASA Image and Video Library, Planetary Photojournal, and this press kit’s Gallery section.

Read NASA’s image use policy.

Read JPL’s image use policy.

A news conference presenting an overview of the mission will take place in the month before launch.

A prelaunch news conference and a science news conference open to accredited news media will take place at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida in the days before launch. Additional media availabilities at NASA Kennedy are also expected in that time period.

All news briefings will be broadcast and live streamed.

An up-to-date list of events for the media, social media, and the public about Europa Clipper, including where they will be streamed online, is available at science.nasa.gov/mission/europa-clipper/watch-online.

News briefings and launch commentary will be available on NASA+, the agency’s streaming service. NASA+ is available on demand at no cost on streaming media players such as Apple TV and Roku, the NASA app on iOS and Android devices, and at plus.nasa.gov on both desktop and mobile.

Programming will also be livestreamed on the agency’s website www.nasa.gov/live, YouTube.com/NASA, YouTube.com/NASAJPL, the NASA app, and NASA social channels. (On-demand recordings will also be available on YouTube after the live events have finished.)

For more information about NASA’s live programming schedule, visit plus.nasa.gov/scheduled-events.

A live video feed of key launch activities and commentary from NASA Kennedy will be broadcast. Media outlets interested in a “clean feed” of the launch without NASA TV commentary should contact nasa-dl-nasaplus-programming@mail.nasa.gov.

Audio only of launch coverage will be carried on the NASA “V” circuits, which may be accessed by dialing 321-867-1220, -1240, -1260, or -7135. On launch day, “mission audio” — the launch conductor’s countdown activities without NASA TV launch commentary — will be carried on 321-867-7135.

Read NASA’s media accreditation policy.

Media accreditation for on-site access closes for international media on Sept. 20, 2024, and for U.S.-based media (U.S. citizens and permanent residents) on Sept. 27. Accredited media will have access to NASA Kennedy for launch and prelaunch activities related to NASA’s Europa Clipper mission. Closer to launch, NASA will release an events-and-briefing advisory with additional information. To apply for accreditation, visit media.ksc.nasa.gov. For questions about accreditation, please email ksc-media-accreditat@mail.nasa.gov.

For information about launch viewing sites on Florida’s Space Coast that are open to the public, go to nasa.gov/centers/kennedy/launchingrockets/viewing.html.

The Europa Clipper mission also has a web page for mission updates, activities, spacecraft models, posters, stickers, animations, and more. This content is suitable for educators, students, and learners of all ages: science.nasa.gov/mission/europa-clipper/participate.

Additional detailed information about the Europa Clipper mission is available at europa.nasa.gov.

NASA’s Eyes on the Solar System is a browser-based 3D simulation that allows users to experience the entire journey of the Europa Clipper mission, from launch to the end of the prime mission. See the spacecraft zip past Earth and Mars, fast-forward to Jupiter orbit insertion in 2030, or watch the complex sequence of moon flybys at the Jupiter system. The visualization is based on mission engineering data and is also available to embed. Explore this interactive experience at go.nasa.gov/EyesOnClipper.
