ClipperAR: Europa Clipper Augmented Reality Experience

The banner shows the surface of Europa taking up the lower third of the image, icy white and blue, with a small white plume erupting on the right side. Jupiter is visible looming in space behind it, at an angle so that Jupiter's bands are extending from the lower left of the planet to the upper right. The Europa Clipper spacecraft is visible in silhouette in front of Jupiter, flying over Europa. Text is overlaid on the image that says "ClipperAR: Europa Clipper Augmented Reality Experience"

Explore Jupiter’s moon Europa and the Europa Clipper spacecraft like never before in the immersive ClipperAR (augmented reality) experience. You can visit Europa, peer through its layers, and learn about Europa’s ingredients for life. After that, you can view the Europa Clipper spacecraft and learn about its individual instruments.

Europa Clipper’s mass spectrometer takes up the left side of this image. The instrument consists of a long cylinder, several feet tall and a couple of inches in diameter. It takes the shape of an automobile spark plug, with a series of ridges visible at the top. Copper plating and wires extend from the instrument in multiple areas. The instrument is installed on a supportive structure. Two engineers are visible on the right side of this image as they look at a laptop while performing tests on the instrument.

The instrument sensor head is shown in the middle of the image as a large metallic device, gold in color, with wiring attached. The sensor is resting on a table in a cleanroom. There are no people visible in the image. Multi-layer insulation is visible on the top and underneath the instrument. On the side of the instrument is a panel with information etched in, including “SUDA SENSOR HEAD”, “LASP” (which refers to the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics), and the mascot symbol for the University of Boulder, which is a buffalo.
