Spacecraft Makers: Testing Europa Clipper’s Magnetometer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 авг 2023
- Join team members from NASA’s Europa Clipper mission in a clean room at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to learn about testing of the spacecraft’s magnetometer, which will help scientists answer the question, “Does Europa have an ocean?”
The magnetometer is made up of a long, 28-foot (6.5-meter) boom and three fluxgate sensors, which are compressed in a canister on the side of the spacecraft until the boom is deployed after launch. The electronics for the instrument are contained in the vault of the spacecraft, along with electronics for the other science instruments.
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 this icy moon of Jupiter to see if there are conditions suitable for life. Scientists have evidence that a global ocean lies under the moon’s surface, and the mission aims to confirm the existence of the ocean.
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 Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Viewers also can watch a 24-hour live feed of the spacecraft in the clean room:

Great video, NASA should make more videos like this, as most people have no idea about these instruments and the effort that goes into making them.
More of this
Super stoked for this mission. Godspeed to everyone involved in the development!
This unsuprisingly reminds me a lot of Cassini for Saturn. I dunno why but I internally believe this mission would be an amazing mission.
Are they gonna land a rover with a minisub in Europa anytme soon (2027)?
@@ivantheterrible4317 Nope. This is just a Jupiter orbiter. A minisub and a lander would make the mission a lot more complex, so they aint doing that. But it'd have been really cool id they did that. Maybe we would've touched the waters or smh.
That’s so awesome definitely would love to see more types of videos like these!
Precise engineering! 👍
I can't imagine what it must be like to design and build something which has never existed - to do something which has never been attempted. Wow. 😳
Cool series. Keep em coming
Great work
Great work for humanity 👏
Great 👍Thanks madam.🙏
Please, what is difference between magnetic field and gravitational field.
How the power of these fields is generated from objects. and how much mass required for this.
so incredible.
Does anyone know how the magnetometer boom work, how it extend ?
Was looking for the dynamics testing...😎😎😎
Fantastic. Can I ask, when you build these craft do you build two at the same time? The reason I ask is that if you had a launch failure then years of work is gone but if you've got a back up..
Used to ages ago (Pioneers 10/11; Voyagers 1/2). But, now, not in the budget.
@@dphuntsman could be if we stopped wasting nearly a trillion dollars a year on defense
used to be done a few decades ago. now NASA doesn't have as much money to do so. also rockets are much more reliable now compared to before.
Good 👍
Amazing what humans can create from dirt.
🎖
But can it detect ghosts?
Morning...😎
Early afternoon . . . 😐
Good video but I can't stand that background music
Hope Mudraptors won't eat it
Thumbs down because NASA thought it was best to use freedom units instead of proper SI units for this video.
Foot? 😢👎
Россия вперед!!!!!! Вперед к победе!
Get bent, troll. Putin is going down in flames. He ruined Russia.
You're welcome! 😏
Russia is going, from a 3rd world country to a 4th world country.
