The teleconference will follow a key meeting earlier that day regarding next steps for the mission.
NASA will hold a media teleconference at 4 p.m. EDT, Monday, Sept. 9, to provide an update on Europa Clipper, a mission that will study whether Jupiter's moon Europa could be hospitable to life. The teleconference will occur after a key decision point meeting earlier that day regarding next steps for the mission.
Audio of the teleconference will stream live on the agency's website at:
Participants in the teleconference include:
Europa Clipper's main science goal is to determine whether there are places below the surface of Jupiter's icy moon that could support life. The mission's objectives are to understand the nature of Europa's ice shell and the ocean beneath it, as well as to study the moon's composition and geology. A detailed exploration of Europa also will help astrobiologists better understand the potential for habitable worlds beyond our planet.
