YES

NASA's Europa Clipper space probe has been in development since 2015. NASA intends to launch it towards Jupiter, with it planned to enter Jupiter orbit in 2030 where it will begin studying Jupiter's large icy moon Europa.

In order to successfully reach Jupiter on schedule NASA has calculated that its launch window extends from October 10th through November 6th, 2024. It will be launching on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy Block 5.

This question will resolve as YES if:

NASA's Europa Clipper space probe launches into space before midnight EST on November 7th, 2024.

AND

By midnight EST, November 7th, 2024 NASA is in control of Europa Clipper and it is on a nominal trajectory (one with which it could reach Jupiter and enter into Jupiter orbit).
