ESA's RIME Antenna Successfully Released with Jiggling and Percussive Action.

TL;DR Summary
The RIME antenna on ESA's Jupiter-bound space probe Juice was stuck, but engineers managed to shake it loose using a non-explosive actuator. The antenna will use ice-penetrating radar to get a subsurface look at Jupiter's moons. Juice is expected to arrive at Jupiter in 2031 and perform multiple science missions until a planned deorbit on Ganymede by late 2035.
