NASA’s upcoming Europa Clipper mission will explore Jupiter’s moon Europa for signs of habitability. Launching in 2024, the mission will use advanced communication tools to study the moon’s environment and its capacity to support life. Credit: NASA/JPL-CaltechThe mission will utilize a high-gain antenna to communicate data back to Earth, exploring the moon’s atmosphere, ice crust, and subterranean ocean during approximately 50 flybys.
To ensure Europa Clipper has the necessary bandwidth, the antenna will operate on NASA’s deep space X-band radio frequencies of 7.2 and 8.4 , and Ka-band at 32 , through the agency’s Deep Space Network, a global array of large radio antennas that communicate with dozens of spacecraft throughout the solar system.
