Question

How would the Europa Clipper mission deal with the special hazard that faces any spacecraft that tries to study Europa close-up?

Group of answer choices

A) The spacecraft would have a strong heat shield that would protect it from the fiery heat of entry into Europa's thick atmosphere.

B) It would orbit Jupiter, spending most of its time outside the radiation belts, and only occasionally making brief flybys of Europa.

C) The spacecraft would be carved out of a multi-ton block of lead, which would shield its electronics from radiation damage.

D) The spacecraft would remain in orbit around the Earth, and would study Europa from a distance with powerful telescopes.

Answer 1

Correct option is B) that is it would orbit Jupiter most of time spending outside radiation belts, and only making only brief flybys to the Satellite Europa.

This is also called by name Flybys proposed to be launched in 2025. This is a unique strategy to save the mission from damage occuring from the damaging radiation of Jupiter's magnetosphere.
