NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Post

“Working with amazing teams, just like the Europa Clipper team here at JPL, is amazing. It was just really a privilege to work on that. And I would say they’re just a bunch of breaks, some disappointments, but when you do get a disappointment, you just have to press on.” Dr. Bonnie Buratti is the deputy project scientist for Europa Clipper, which is currently en route to conduct sweeping flybys of one of Jupiter’s four large Galilean moons to look for a habitable environment similar to Earth’s.

  • The surface of Jupiter’s icy moon Europa looms large in this color view, made from images taken by NASA’s Galileo spacecraft in the late 1990s. Long, linear cracks and ridges crisscross the surface, interrupted by regions of disrupted terrain where the surface ice crust has been broken up and re-frozen into new patterns. Color variations across the surface are associated with differences in geologic feature type and location. For example, areas that appear blue or white contain relatively pure water ice, while reddish and brownish areas include non-ice components in higher concentrations. The polar regions, visible at the left and right of this view, are noticeably bluer than the more equatorial latitudes, which look more white. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SETI Institute

"Dr. Bonnie Buratti's words capture the essence of true exploration and resilience. The journey with the Europa Clipper team sounds like an inspiring mix of challenges and breakthroughs—a reminder that pushing the boundaries of knowledge takes both grit and perseverance. Exploring Jupiter’s moon with the potential to uncover a habitable environment? Now that's the kind of mission that fuels dreams and reshapes our understanding of life in the cosmos. Hats off to the Europa Clipper team! 🚀🌌 #SpaceExploration #EuropaClipper #NASA #Inspiration"

  • No alternative text description for this image

but is it also possible to put a fixed satellite in that position that acts as a focus and uses the earth as an ellipse section instead of a normal ellipse and thus transmit the data into space? the placement of the fire should be perfect right height right direction perfect height etc. and to improve the incomplete reflection we could put the focus where there is the ocean and not the land, for example at the equator of the Pacific Ocean since the earth makes a complete rotation so there is no risk of not being able to transmit in other directions

Such an inspiring message, Dr. Buratti! It’s a great reminder that every setback is just a stepping stone to breakthroughs. Looking forward to seeing what the Europa Clipper mission uncovers about Jupiter’s mysterious moon!

Wether or not we find life on Europa, we will learn a lot about habitability and our solar system.
