Two workers are standing beside the Europa Clipper’s narrow-angle camera (NAC), which is on a metal platform with rods sticking straight up at the corners of the platform. The workers are covered head-to-toe in mostly white protective clothing called bunny suits, and they are wearing bright blue face masks. One worker is leaning toward the NAC and pointing to the NAC, which is wrapped in silver-colored insulating material. The NAC has a round base about the size of tire. The lens is sticking out at an angle.
