Europe's Hera mission to the asteroid Dimorphos, which NASA's DART probe hit in September 2022, has arrived at its launch site in Florida ahead of its planned Oct. 7 liftoff.

A NASA mission launching in October will send cameras and other scientific equipment to see, among other things, whether Jupiter's moon Europa could sustain life.

A SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket will launch from the Kennedy Space Center with the largest spacecraft NASA has ever built for a planetary mission.

The Europa Clipper remains on track for launch Oct. 10 to study Jupiter's icy moon Europa, where a vast ocean lurks beneath an icy crust.

Europa Clipper is officially slated to launch on October 10, a month from today, following crunch-time reviews of the spacecraft's ability to withstand the Jovian environment.

NASA is weeks away from sending its Clipper orbiter on a journey to the Jupiter moon Europa, which scientists believe could harbor conditions for life.

NASA wants to establish a permanent human presence on the moon, but right now, astronauts have to be in direct line of sight with Earth to phone home. The space agency is looking to change that with its developing Near Space Network,

NASA plans to launch the Europa Clipper mission on October 10, 2024, targeting Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. The mission seeks to explore whether Europa’s subsurface ocean can harbor life. The spacecraft will execute 49 flybys of the moon to gather crucial data about its ice shell and potential habitability while navigating intense radiation zones.
