ESA's Juice Probe Fully Deployed and Ready to Explore Jupiter's Moons in 2031

TL;DR Summary
The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) spacecraft has completed the unfurling of its solar panel arrays and various booms, probes, and antennae while en route to Jupiter. Juice will explore Jupiter while conducting 35 flybys of Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, which are each hypothesized to contain bodies of liquid water beneath their icy crusts. The spacecraft will also conduct further examinations of the entire Jupiter system, as scientists hypothesize this could help paint a clearer picture of gas giant exoplanets.
