JUICE (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer)
ESA's JUICE mission, launched in April 2023, is en route to Jupiter with arrival planned for 2031. The spacecraft will study Jupiter's largest moons—Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa—focusing on their potential subsurface oceans and habitability. It will eventually enter orbit around Ganymede, the first spacecraft to orbit a moon other than Earth's.
Mission Objectives
- Characterize Ganymede as potential habitat
- Explore Europa and Callisto oceans
- Study Jupiter system as archetype for gas giants
- Investigate moon surface and subsurface properties
- First orbit of moon other than Earth's Moon
