In October 2024, NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft will begin its 1.8-billion-mile journey to Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. It will investigate if an ocean thought to lie beneath Europa’s icy crust could support life. Europa Clipper Mission System Manager Al Cangahula and planetary scientist Kate Craft will talk about the spacecraft’s assembly and preparations for launch, and how Europa Clipper’s detailed exploration of Europa will help scientists better understand the astrobiological potential for habitable worlds beyond our planet.

SOAR is an abbreviation for "Single-stage Operational Assessment of Red Kite", and is a project between the German space agency DLR and Bayern-Chemie GmbH which aims to develop a new solid fueled rocket motor called Red Kite. The ride kite will be qualified during the SOAR mission. The mission is launched from Andøya Space in Norway in November. But it´s not only about the Red Kite flight qualification, the new motor carries a quite fancy looking experiment from DLR´s Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology on supersonic and hypersonic Ram-Jet flow
Andøya Space, Norway
NASA will perform a RS-25 static fire as part of the final round of certification testing ahead of production of an updated set of the engines for the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket. The test is scheduled for 500 seconds and will fire the RS-25 engine up to 113% power level.
