摘要

The Europa Clipper mission launched on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy fully expendable launch vehicle on October 14, 2024. The interplanetary MEGA trajectory includes gravity assist flybys of Mars and Earth, and will arrive in the Jovian system in 2030. Clipper will explore Jupiter’s moon Europa and investigate its habitability. This work will describe the Navigation strategy designed to fly the reference trajectory, the nominal orbit determination (OD) delivery knowledge results at Europa encounters, and the total accumulated statistical \(\Delta \) Δ V99 in tour. Results for sensitivity to select parametric variations of the baseline navigation strategy are also discussed.
