Falcon Heavy to Launch NASA $5 Billion Spacecraft This Week BUT...
2024's fourth quarter will be witnessing the launch of one of Nasa's greatest and most expensive scientific missions to Jupiter's ocean world.
Atop SpaceX's masculine Falcon Heavy rocket, NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft will travel 2.9 billion kilometers to reach Jupiter's ocean world, moon Europa.
From then on, a two-decade-long question about the potential for life lurking beneath the surface of Jupiter's icy moon would be revealed.
However, before achieving that, NASA's mission had to face an extremely huge obstacle that NASA almost intended to give up.
In today's Techmap episode, let's recall the long, challenging but inspiring journey of this great historical mission.
But before we begin, let's subscribe to the channel to stay up-to-date with the latest space news.
Falcon Heavy to Launch NASA $5 Billion Spacecraft This Week BUT...
2024's fourth quarter promises to be a wonderful time for Nasa, SpaceX, and the whole space community.
SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket will be fulfilling its manifest this year which is inherently few in number due to the low demand on the market. On June 25, the masculine rocket launched the GOES-U weather satellite.
October 10 is scheduled to witness Falcon Heavy's second mission for the launch of the first mission to conduct a detailed science investigation of Jupiter's moon Europa. However, due to anticipated hurricane conditions in the area, the mission is stood down until Hurricane Milton passes. Unfortunately, this has the potential to be a historic hurricane for the west coast of Florida.
Falcon Heavy to Launch NASA $5 Billion Spacecraft This Week BUT...
On October 4, workers transported NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft from the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket in the hangar as part of final launch preparations ahead of its journey to Jupiter’s icy moon. While Europa Clipper’s launch period opens on October 10, the window provides launch opportunities until Wednesday, November 6.
Anyway, we all hope that this historic mission will be launched soon in October.

Sounds similar to what happened on Apollo 13 when a NASA contractor didn't tell a sub-contractor about a small circuitry change in the Oxygen system that subsequently exploded. NASA relies exclusively on contractors who have hundreds of sub-contractors who have more sub-contractors. SpaceX has very few and is why they are able to make improvements so rapidly.

Last Falcon Heavy launch was December 28th 2023, not 2019

[johndorch]

Better check your script again pal. I think you mean "massive" not "masculine".

[ElectricEndurance]

Your AI robot voice is messing up, it is not say massive rocket but masculine rocket.

[MrTomOtts]

Don’t launch until the FAA finishes its paperwork.

[richardsmith]

So I guess this launch is ok with the FAA?

[xizang]

Better get all your FAA permits taken care of. And don't forget to file a detailed Flight Plan...

[johnrday]

What is the mass (weight) of satellite Europa Clipper ?

[steveanderson]

On a side note, an entire generation of children are likely to speak like morons because they learned pronunciation from AI generated dialog.

[av_kovko]

My comment "Weather paused launch of Europa Clipper. No launch on this week" has deleted. Why?

[TubeOnRichard]

Until 5 minuets ago it was plainly said that probes had to drill/melt through Europa's ice into the "ocean" to find anything beyond speculation. Since this mission can't possibly do what they say it will do, the question is what is really going on?

[thomasf-yw]

meanwhile America is getting wiped out by weather so great job Nasa you go boys.

[RudiJock]

You have just lost me as a viewer. Yes- WORK by checking the script. You say Falcon Heavy launched on June 25th around the one minute mark, then go on to say Falcon Heavy has not launched since June 2019 at 4:06. I was beginning to like your channel despite the AI voice. No more waisting my time with someone who does not do basic task like checking the script for accuracy.

Elon Musk could put Space Shuttle like doors on the SpaceX Starship and have cargo pods (24’ X 48’ to 68’) that are pushed out of the cargo bay using springs, and have anti-spin, course correction devices on the cargo pods and use a cargo pod pusher to push the cargo pod towards the moon / Mars, and use a cargo pod lander, to land the cargo pods on the moon / Mars. And have at least two doors on the bottom of the cargo pods, and connect the cargo pods together using inflatable tunnels, covered with cement by 3D printers, the cargo pods could also be covered with cement by 3D printers, the cargo pod could have built in facilities in them, like everything a moon / Mars lander would have in it, or everything a space capsule for 100 people would have in it. Or a refinery, factory, warehouse, farm, orchid, dairy, ranch, fish growing facility, grocery store, retail store, hardware store, park, amusement park, arcade, night club, city hall, police station, jail, recycling plant, repair shop, etc., etc.. Also he could use inflatable habitats / buildings, covered with cement by 3D printers, when larger facilities are needed / wanted.

"Masculine Falcon rocket" (0:9)??? WTF are you smoking? (NOT the bot, the person who wrote this!!!)🤬

[Lenovo_public]

5 Billion Spacecraft 🤣, let SpaceX make your spacecrafts and save 90%, what a joke of an industry we have here, it is all about making money and stilling from US tax payers.

[EnerGeezerSquirrel]

"Masculine" rocket?!?
How about a little gender equity here: why not occasionally refer to amazingly powerful rockets as "Zenobian" or "Amazonian" for a change?
