NASA @EuropaClipper will soon blast off for Jupiter's moon Europa. On board is a special instrument developed @UTGeophysics @txgeosciences that will let it peer inside the icy world in search of life-supporting habitats!

⚡ Power move: @EuropaClipper's solar arrays flanking the body of the spacecraft have fully unfolded. This means that the spacecraft now has a reliable source of power for the rest of its journey to Jupiter and tour of the Jovian system! https://t.co/sEr1jgkbTt

🚀LAUNCH UPDATE!
NASA’s #EuropaClipper is now targeting NET Monday, Oct. 14 for launch!

@NASAKennedy is “all clear” after the storm and teams are moving forward with preparations for the mission to Jupiter’s icy moon Europa.

See you on the launchpad! Go @EuropaClipper 🚀🚀🚀

Had the best time with the AntArchitecture family!

RIME & REASON: once at Jupiter, Juice and Europa Clipper will do complimentary and coordinated observations. Scientists from both @NASA and @ESA work on some of the respective spacecraft's science instruments, such as Juice's RIME and Europa Clipper's REASON radar experiments.

Did you know? Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, newly-announced running mate of @VP Harris, was the keynote speaker at our @EsriUC just last month??? Catch his super inspiring talk here:

When our spacecraft embarks, it will carry the names of 2.6 million Earthlings, and hand-made art swimming with meaning. Dive in: https://t.co/t0JgP0D3BB

Here it is: @EuropaClipper’s message from one water world to another. We hope that it speaks to you.

Something special will happen at #SXSW this year: the opening session on Mar. 8 features US Poet Laureate Ada Limón reading the poem that will ride aboard our spacecraft, and discussing art and science with NASA's Dr. Lori Glaze. You can watch too! https://t.co/HfN2W9Uj98

[Bob Pappalardo - find me on Bluesky @RPappalardo]

Tune in to see how @EuropaClipper is at the nexus of science and art. You’ll be glad you did! #PI_Daily

Another very cool new paper from @IcefinRobot team, led by Peter Washam, looking in detail at ice surface morphology and heat/salt transfer through the ocean boundary layer in a basal crevasse under @RossShelf https://t.co/sT5K3rfYr8

A series of commands inadvertently sent to @NASAVoyager 2 spacecraft has caused its antenna to point 2 degrees away from Earth, creating a brief pause in communication with the spacecraft. After its next scheduled reset, the science team expects communications to resume: https://t.co/gsTIU0dK0F

new paper 🪨🧊🌲

we show that northwest greenland was ice-free for ~15ka about 400ka ago, which requires that the ice sheet contributed at minimum +1.4m to global sea level - and potentially much more. read more: https://t.co/pn8Vyg8xOF

I played with Venera-15 radar data. Here are some stages from the raw radio hologram to an image strip.

.@UTGeophysics researchers contributed years of airborne geophysical surveys to a new scientific map of Antarctica's ice and rock. Bedmap 3 offers scientists a major and openly accessible tool to help predict future ice loss and sea level rise. 1/3
