I've been assigned to the Europa Clipper mission since 2017, that is still a small amount of time compared with teammates that have been here since the Europa Orbiter days (late 90s), so to say I am THRILLED to finally see the announcement of a launch vehicle is an understatement

Another huge first: converting CO2 into oxygen on Mars. Working off the land with what’s already here, my MOXIE instrument has shown it can be done!

Future explorers will need to generate oxygen for rocket fuel and for breathing on the Red Planet. https://t.co/9sjZT9KeOR
