Deadline is by Dec 31st.

Yeah it's cheesy, but it'll likely out live anything we leave behind on earth.

It's mission: https://europa.nasa.gov/mission/about/

Europa Clipper’s main science goal is to determine whether there are places below the surface of Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, that could support life.

The mission’s three main science objectives are to understand the nature of the ice shell and the ocean beneath it, along with the moon’s composition and geology. The mission’s detailed exploration of Europa will help scientists better understand the astrobiological potential for habitable worlds beyond our planet.

NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft will perform dozens of close flybys of Jupiter’s moon Europa, gathering detailed measurements to investigate the moon. The spacecraft, in orbit around Jupiter, will make nearly 50 flybys of Europa at closest-approach altitudes as low as 16 miles (25 kilometers) above the surface, soaring over a different location during each flyby to scan nearly the entire moon.

Thanks! We may still be alive in September 2034.

Possible End of Mission: Ganymede Impact

The current end of mission plan calls for Europa Clipper to deorbit into Ganymede's surface after its mission is complete.

Idk if the craft and our names chip will survive the crash.

I was trying to find information about what happens to the space craft when its mission was over. The closest I got was in orbit around Ganymede, I must have overlooked that part.

Oh well, I think my name is on one of the Mars rovers.... I've still got that!

Bad banni (not to be confused with Link ).

It took me awhile to find it. Wiki was useless and "Timeline" was not the first place I looked on NASA’s Europa Clipper site.
