Juice – mission update after one year in space.
14 April 2024
On the 14th April 2023, JUICE was launched from Kourou by the last but one Ariane 5 rocket. It will spend around 8 years travelling before reaching its destination: the Jupiter system and its icy moons. One year after launch, and it is time to discuss what has been done with the Juice team and what is the prospect for the coming years. The cruise phase from Earth to Jupiter could be perceived as eventless, we will show that this is far from the case! Juice Project Scientist Olivier Witasse and Juice Operation Scientist Claire Vallet, both at ESA, present an exciting update on the mission after one year in space and what is to come in the near future.
