Europa Clipper is NASA's next mission to the outer solar system, and you can watch it being assembled and tested in real time via webcam from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, United States.
You are currently viewing activities at JPL's High Bay 1, and the Europa Clipper's main body is visible on the left as a large aluminium cylinder.
The primary body of the spaceship is 10 feet (3 metres) tall and 5 feet (1.5 metres) broad, and it incorporates the electronics, radios, thermal loop tubing, cabling, and propulsion system. On the right, you can see the metal box that serves as Europa Clipper's electronics vault, which will protect sensitive electronics from the high levels of radiation present in space near Jupiter.
NASA's Europa Clipper mission aims to conduct dozens of close flybys of Jupiter's moon Europa in order to gather accurate information about the moon's potential habitability.
