The Europa Clipper was launched on Oct 14, 2024 and 2 days later it’s already 1.5 million km from Earth on its 5 year voyage to Jupiter. You can track its path, along with the paths and orbits of 162 spacecraft, on NASA’s Eyes on the Solar System. Included is USA’s first satellite, Explorer 1, launched in 1958. Although it de-orbited and burned up in 1970, you can visualize its initial orbit as it existed in 1958. Also visualized is Voyager 1, launched in 1977 and now over 24.75 billion km from Earth.

This visualization is one of several Eyes web-apps: Solar System, Asteroids, Earth, Exoplanets, Deep Space Network, and Mars Relay Network. Explore them all at: https://science.nasa.gov/eyes/
