Europa-UVS at One Month Prior to Europa Clipper Launch

The Europa Clipper mission will launch in October 2024. The Europa Ultraviolet Spectrograph (Europa-UVS) instrument science goals are focused on Europa habitability goals, specifically: 1) Search for and characterize the vapor composition of any plumes; and 2) Enable mapping of atmospheric vertical structure and composition. Well discuss the status of the Europa-UVS instrument, plans for post-launch commissioning and calibrations, and its extreme-UV to far-UV (55-205 nm) observational techniques to investigate aurora and airglow imaging, stellar and solar occultation, Jupiter transit, and surface reflectance. Coordination with its sister instrument on the Juice mission, JUICE-UVS, offers additional opportunities for advancing the science goals for each mission.
