This animation segment shows the fairing separation after NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft leaves Earth. 

This composite image of the Jupiter-facing hemisphere of Europa was obtained on Nov. 25, 1999 by two instruments onboard NASA's Galileo spacecraft. 

The instrument sensor head for Europa Clipper’s dust analyzer is seen in a clean room during the installation of multi-layer insulation prior to thermal balancing testing.

The image on the left shows a region of Europa's crust made up of blocks which are thought to have broken apart and "rafted" into new positions.

The animation illustrates the complex nature of the spacecraft’s magnetic field.

This image shows an area of crustal separation on Jupiter's moon, Europa. 

The images used for the base of this globe were chosen from coverage supplied by the Galileo solid-state imaging (SSI) camera and Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft.

Engineers prepare Europa Clipper's thermal imager for a series of tests in a clean room at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory following delivery.

The ultraviolet spectrograph will collect ultraviolet light and create images to help determine the composition of Europa’s atmospheric gases and surface materials
