Jupiter reaches final form with completed juice deployments.

TL;DR Summary
ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) has completed its final deployments, including the Radio & Plasma Wave Investigation (RPWI) and JANUS optical camera instrument, in preparation for exploring Jupiter. The RPWI will generate a 3D map of the electric fields around Jupiter and collect data on energy transfer between Jupiter's magnetosphere and its icy moons. The JANUS camera will take images in 13 different colours to investigate the moons Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa, as well as other parts of the Jovian system. Juice will perform the world's first-ever lunar-Earth gravity assist in August 2024.
