Helio Corporation Announces Launch of Radar Antennas on NASA Europa Clipper Mission
Rhea-AI Summary
Heliospace, a subsidiary of Helio (OTC Pink:HLEO), has announced the successful launch of its deployable radar antennas aboard the NASA Europa Clipper spacecraft on Oct 14, 2024. The antennas, designed and delivered under contract with Caltech, are part of the REASON instrument for exploring Jupiter's moon Europa. The compact design features two large dipole antennas extending up to 17.6m in length, plus four smaller dipoles. The radar system will help characterize Europa's icy crust from surface to ocean, supporting NASA's mission to explore potential conditions for life on the moon.
Positive
- Successful deployment of company technology on major NASA mission
- Strategic partnership with Caltech and NASA JPL
- Demonstration of advanced technical capabilities in space technology
Negative
- None.
BERKELEY, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 29, 2024 / Heliospace, a subsidiary of Helio Corporation (OTC Pink:HLEO) has announced the successful launch of its deployable radar antennas aboard the NASA Europa Clipper spacecraft on Oct 14, 2024. Heliospace designed, assembled, tested, and delivered these antennas under contract with Caltech as part of the Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding: Ocean to Near-surface (REASON) instrument onboard Europa Clipper.
Heliospace
The Heliospace radar antennas are an extremely compact design accommodated on the edges of the Europa Clipper spacecraft solar arrays and will deploy to form two large dipole antennas up to 17.6 m in length, along with four smaller dipoles during the flight. Heliospace co-founder and CEO Greg Delory, a former space scientist, expressed his excitement about this event: "All of us at Heliospace are pleased to have been able to use our company's technology to help advance NASA's mission to explore Jupiter's moon Europa. This is one of the solar system's most fascinating objects, where conditions for life may exist, and to be able to contribute to its exploration is an exciting moment for us."
Under principal investigator Dr. Donald Blankenship of the University of Texas, Austin, REASON is a dual-frequency ice penetrating radar instrument designed to characterize and sound Europa's icy crust from the near-surface to the ocean, revealing the hidden structure of Europa's ice shell and potential water within. The Europa Clipper program is managed by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
