Oct. 14 (UPI) -- NASA's $5 billion Europa Clipper spacecraft successfully launched from the Kennedy Space Center on top of a SpaceX Super Heavy rocket Monday morning, beginning a six-year trek to Jupiter's icy moon.
After a one-day delay, the rocket took off shortly in the afternoon with no problems. The rocket's second-stage booster then performed a final burn in space to jettison the Europa Clipper to its trajectory.
