Transcription:
NASA`s Europa probe will soon head for Jupiter`s moon The Europa Clipper probe will face significant challenges It will face extreme vibrations, harsh temperatures and intense radiation On its 1.6 billion mile journey.
So NASA is testing the endurance capacity of the spacecraft To ensure its ability to endure the severe space conditions.
THE PROBE WAS TESTED FOR 16 DAYS INSIDE THE SPACE SIMULATOR A THERMAL VACUUM CHAMBER MEASURING 85 FT. TALL AND 25 FT. WIDE. ENGINEERS EXPOSED THE HARDWARE TO INTENSE HEAT AND COLD
Replicating the heat conditions the spacecraft will encounter.
The orbiter also underwent shock and acoustic testing Pyrotechnics replicated the separation of the spacecraft from the rocket Acoustic testing confirmed the capacity to withstand noise.
The spacecraft will orbit Jupiter during its mission And make 49 close passes by Europa Coming as close as 16 miles from the icy moon`s surface.
These close flybys will allow the probe to collect vital data Using its advanced suite of scientific instruments.
The insights will provide valuable insights into Europa And its potential subsurface ocean and habitability.
