It is reported that the development stage of the spacecraft and the production of its individual parts took the engineers the last few years.
And only in 2022, all the components of the probe began to be brought to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) – the assembly process started there.
At the moment, scientists expect the launch of the mission to take place in October 2024. At the same time, the probe will reach its goal as early as 2030.
