   Below is a diagram of of the 5.5 year trajectory of the Europa Clipper spacecraft.

   It will swing by Mars in just a few months from now on Feb 27, 2025 to get a gravity slingshot boost.
   On Dec 1, 2026, the spacecraft will be back to get a gravity boost from earth and then dash to Jupiter for arrival on April 11, 2030.
