JUICE Probe Successfully Deploys Stuck Antenna on Journey to Jupiter
TL;DR Summary
The Jupiter Icy moons Explorer (JUICE) probe, launched on April 14, has captured its first images of Earth and is on a 12-year mission to study three of Jupiter's icy moons: Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The probe will use the gravity of the Earth-Moon system to propel it on its trajectory through the inner solar system, targeting September 2026 for an Earth flyby, followed by another one in November 2029. JUICE is estimated to reach Jupiter in 2031 and will investigate these large moons for signs that they could host life.
