Spacecraft Makers: Simulating Space to Test Europa Clipper
How did the team working on NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft test whether the spacecraft will work properly in outer space? They put the spacecraft in a special chamber that mimics the kind of sunlight and airless environment the spacecraft will experience when it’s in outer space.
In this video, Tony Licari - a mechanical systems engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California - shows how the team moved the main body of the largest spacecraft NASA has ever built for a planetary mission into JPL's historic 85-foot-tall, 25-foot-wide (26-meter-by-8-meter) thermal vacuum chamber.Inside the chamber, the team simulated the kinds of conditions the spacecraft will experience while flying through space, and practiced deploying instruments. Europa Clipper successfully completed those tests in March 2024.
Spacecraft Makers is a video series that takes audiences behind the scenes to learn more about how space missions, like Europa Clipper, come together. Europa Clipper will explore Jupiter’s icy moon Europa to see if there are conditions suitable for life. The spacecraft needs to be hardy enough to survive a 1.6 billion-mile, six-year journey to Jupiter, and sophisticated enough to perform a detailed science investigation of Europa once it arrives at the Jupiter system in 2030.
Europa Clipper is expected to launch in October 2024 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

    I just have one thing to say. I'm not an astrophysicist I have no type of degree on the subject. But I have heard many people speak who have such degrees let's say we should not have any type of asteroid belt within the planets and comets should not exist. There is only one explanation for why they do and it is because there was at one point another planet in our solar system that was struck by the 9th planet that was recently finally proven to be in existence. Call it Planet X or Nibiru or whatever when it smashed through that other planet a left large chunks of its crust and Globs of its ocean that of course in zero gravity will turn into giant water droplets. Hence comets are created. The only thing that makes sense for how water would exist in such large quantities out in space and would be full of debris. Just

    our friend says. the people from Camelopardalist have massive ships the size of Earth. They just scoop up asteroids and mine the Oort cloud. They have bases all over our solar system on moons of Saturn and Jupiter. Sometimes thru NASA carelessness or being unaware, they release these images of massive ships. We have confirmed so much of our ongoing interview for the last decade. We have a back channel to ET. This is the most incredible time to be alive.

    Dear Nasa and Nasa recipients The "Marry Go Round (MGR) experiment" You Johny, and Danny are playing on MGR A and B. Johny is standing on MGR A and danny is standing on MGR B. MGR B is sitting atop MGR A. Both MGRs get spun in the same direction. This experiment is decribe the difference between expansion and speed. You are the origin for Johny' speed and Johny is the origin for Danny's speed. What does Johny have speed in reference to~ you? Yes you are completely relative to his position. Thus Johny is relative to Danny's position not you; because you have no force enacting on Danny. Why does Danny move faster than Johny when the same amount of force is enacting upon them? I'll tell you why It's because Danny is expanding away. You see Danny has his own limit of speed; Johny can spin Danny as fast as light moves because Johny is Danny's origin. Plasma is timeless but vacuums the first state of matter are densless. Speed becomes fourth dimensional in a vacuum. Solids can store this extra dimension of speed really well because they hold shape. This is called inertial force. Expansion can easily be engineered in the same way the marry go round experiment does it. Lets say you create an electrical magnetic force inside a coil spun in the shape of a solo cup. the electical magnetic charge is conected to a casing with coils of the same device in mulitple sequences until you reach the expidition ship. Now of course you would have to allow the coil to be hot for anything to happen but you begin to expand at a rate greater than the speed of light and possibly even faster. Whats the problem; we have a limitation of devices. This is as far as i can take us into the future thank you. Sincerely-Ronald Braden Russell

How is science transfered to the public? What is NASA's ratio to the norm? Are there men who dress as women and vise versa? How does this progress science, especially WITH TAX PAYER MONEY?????

    Just a thot here, you mentioned you are out of propellant, but nothing about the batteries. Voyager missions have lasted over 40 years and things are still working. Why wasn't the craft allowed to continue orbiting? Was it because of possible contact with the moons? Why not put it in an orbit so that didn't happen while still getting data? Or was this budgetary?
