Europa Clipper
NASA's probe to study Jupiter's moon Europa; with a 30 m solar array span, NASA's largest interplanetary spacecraft. It gains speed flying past Mars in March 2025 and Earth in December 2026, and arrives at Jupiter in 2030. Its position is derived from the sampled JPL Horizons trajectory. (The model is representative.)
