LOOKING FORWARD: The Europa Clipper
Of all the missions to launch in the 2020′s, the clipper is the one I am eager for. The mission will be more than a lander,knowing JPL if they’re going to go all the way out to Jupiter you know they’ll do more to make the trip worth it (Voyager wasn’t supposed to go to Uranus or Neptune). I think the orbital side of the mission will be like Cassini all over again, and hopefully avenge what was lost in the 90′s when the Galileo spacecraft high gain antenna didn’t deploy
(Solid dishes do it better)
I can’t wait for the new swag either, hopefully JPL’s giftshop will actually SELL them. I hate hunting pins on Ebay that cost more than they should.(Personal problems, sorry)
Jupiter YOU’RE NEXT!!!!
Looking back at the decade (again).. LANDING DAY. November 28,2018.
My first opportunity to send my name to the stars on the hood of a spacecraft.. The “InSight” Mission launched into the night leaving a loud roar from my neck of the woods on the cold stellar coast of California and into the deep black.. The guy on Retro Space Images always posts film photos he took of the TV screen when men walked the moon so I do the same thing now, for space missions, for some reason. Where was I? Getting ready to put a chunk of aluminium into a HAAS machine in my CNC class. A couple of us were sorta keeping an eye on the mission without trying to get too distracted from work. My turn came RIGHT when “bottoms up” occurred over the deserts of Mars. I remember looking up at the clock right when entry was supposed to be happening and wondering how it went. It was a good autumn day, the smoke from the terrible fire up north was finally clearing and things felt more like winter for a change. Then those first photos came in, by golly..
Will go again in 2020! WaHoo!
They couldnt see but they sure heard it leaving babe!
