A European spacecraft named Juice has launched on a ten-year mission to explore Jupiter and three of its potentially ocean-bearing icy moons. The robotic explorer aims to investigate the potential habitability of Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede, with the latter being the target of Juice’s orbital efforts. Although it is not capable of detecting life, Juice will seek to identify the moons’ habitability by conducting close flybys while orbiting Jupiter. With 95 moons in total, astronomers view Jupiter as its own miniature solar system, making missions like Juice long overdue for exploration. The spacecraft’s electronics are protected by lead casing to shield against Jupiter’s intense radiation, and its solar panels stretch 88 feet to capture sunlight at Jupiter’s distance from the sun. NASA’s heavily shielded Europa Clipper will join Juice in the study of Europa. If Juice discovers evidence of underground oceans that could support life, scientists plan to send drills and even potentially a submarine to investigate further.
