Hurricane Milton Damage Assessment | NASA's Kennedy Space Center
Oct. 10, 2024 Update: "Kennedy's Ride Out Team is conducting an initial assessment of the center. The majority of the impacts observed at this time are minor damage to doors, traffic lights, awnings, and small trailers."
"The Damage Assessment and Recovery Team, or DART, will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the center prior to determining conditions are safe for employees to return on-site."
"The agency’s Europa Clipper launch team will schedule an official launch date when teams from NASA and SpaceX are able to perform their assessments, and confirm its safe to launch. Teams are working to protect launch opportunities no earlier than Sunday, Oct. 13. Clipper has launch opportunities through Wednesday, Nov. 6."
"NASA will provide more information on Clipper launch opportunities as it becomes available."
Europa Clipper is expected to reach the Jupiter system in April 2030, and it will accomplish a few milestones along the way, including a Mars flyby in February 2025 that will help propel the spacecraft toward Jupiter’s moon through a Mars-Earth gravity assist trajectory.
