JUICE

ESA's Juice Jupiter mission is back on track after Mission Control in Darmstadt, Germany managed to shake loose and deploy the stuck ice-penetrating Radar for Icy Moons Exploration (RIME) antenna that was stuck due to a tiny pin.

ESA's Juice probe has run into trouble as one of its instruments failed to deploy, perhaps due to a tiny pin. The Radar for Icy Moons Exploration (RIME) antenna has only extended a third of its length and failed to release from its mounting bracket.

ESA's Juice deep-space probe is on its way to Jupiter and has sent back its first selfies. Captured by Juice monitoring camera 1 (JMC1) located on the front of the spacecraft, the new images show the Earth and Juice's deployed solar array.

ESA's historic mission to explore the moons of Jupiter and orbit the largest moon in the solar system, Ganymede, has begun. The Juice robotic probe lifted off from Europe's Guiana Space Centre at Kourou, French Guiana atop an Ariane 5 rocket.

ESA's Juice deep-space probe has captured an image of Jupiter and its four largest moons – even though it won't launch for three years.

NASA scientists have produced the first global geological map of Jupiter's largest moon Ganymede by combining images from over twenty years of observation by the Voyager spacecraft and the Galileo orbiter.

The ESA has announced the eleven scientific instruments selected for its JUICE mission to explore Jupiter and its moons.
