Juice Mission Launches to Explore Jupiter's Icy Moons.

The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer mission, or Juice, has been launched to explore Jupiter and its three largest moons, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa, which are believed to have subsurface oceans that could potentially harbor life. The spacecraft will take eight years to reach Jupiter and will spend about three and a half years orbiting the gas giant and conducting flybys of the moons. The mission has five main objectives, including characterizing the moons and determining if they are potentially habitable for life.
