NASA Administrator Bill Nelson Visits KSC
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson visits the agency’s Europa Clipper spacecraft inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024. Scheduled to launch later this year, Europa Clipper will embark on a 1.8-billion-mile (2.6-billion-kilometer) journey to Jupiter. It is the largest spacecraft NASA has developed for a planetary mission. Set to arrive in April 2030, it will study the gas giant’s icy moon, Europa, to determine its potential to support life.
