Europa Clipper scale model 3D print - Version 2025D

This 3D-print model shows Europa Clipper's major components and science instruments and lets users manipulate the solar-array–radar wings, which in the model rotate less than 360 degrees. The spacecraft's X, Y, and Z body axes are marked on the model, and “VSCA” on the stand indicates the spacecraft's velocity vector during Standard Closest Approach at Europa.

Identifiable engineering components include the High-Gain Antenna HGA radome, Sun Shield, Medium Gain Antenna, three Fan-Beam Antennas, three Low-Gain Antennas, Plume Shield for ECM, four Rocket-Engine Modules (each with six nozzles), four Reaction Wheels, two Stellar-Reference Units, two pairs of Sun Sensors, the main thermal radiator, two solar-array wings, and the propulsion module.
