"Juice Embarks on Historic Earth-Moon Flyby Mission"

The European Space Agency's Juice spacecraft successfully completed a major maneuver, using almost 10% of its fuel reserve, to put itself on the correct trajectory for an Earth-Moon double gravity assist. This maneuver is the first part of a two-part process that could mark the final use of Juice's main engine until its arrival in the Jupiter system in 2031. The spacecraft will make flybys of Venus and Earth before reaching Jupiter, using gravity assists to gain energy and overcome the Sun's gravitational pull.
