NASA's Europa Clipper mission performed a successful and speedy Mars flyby en route to #Jupiter 👉 https://www.nasa.gov/missions/europa-clipper/nasas-europa-clipper-uses-mars-to-go-the-distance/ We're looking forward to our #Juice mission meeting Europa Clipper at the gas giant! 2/3

Meanwhile, our #Hera mission is due to visit #Mars on 12 March as well, for a flyby of its own, en route to the Didymos binary asteroid system 👉 https://www.esa.int/Newsroom/Press_Releases/Media_Invitation_ESA_s_Hera_Mission_-_Mars_Flyby_and_Deimos_Encounter 3/3

What program is used to track these orbiters? I’m assuming it’s proprietary?

The tool used to make this video is called Cosmographia, which was developed by NASA JPL. It is available for public use. You can check both the tool and the ESA missions data here: https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/spice/cosmographia
