ESA's JUICE Mission: Key Highlights and Historic Flyby

The European Space Agency's JUICE mission, launched on April 14, 2023, aims to explore Jupiter and its icy moons, including Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, to study their composition, geology, and potential habitability. The mission involves complex navigation, including a critical lunar-Earth flyby in August 2024, to propel the spacecraft towards Jupiter. Equipped with advanced instruments, JUICE will investigate subsurface oceans, surface compositions, and Jupiter's atmosphere and magnetosphere, contributing to our understanding of the Jovian system and the search for extraterrestrial life.
