SLS Block 1B Cargo on LC-39B launch pad.

This scenario begins with MJD 59731, June 6th, 2022.

Default date of this scenario based on proposed Europa Clipper launch date, i.e. 6th of June 2022 (MJD 59731).

Direct transfer to Jupiter is feasible for Europa Clipper when launched on this day.

Alternatively, one can wait until 17th of June 2022 to launch into heliocentric tranbsit orbits with multiple VILT maneuvers before encounter with Jupiter on 15th Jan. 2030
