Europe’s Jupiter-bound JUICE Spacecraft Ready for Launch! | Kosmoz


If you saw our video on the events to look forward to in 2023, you would know that the JUICE spacecraft, which is preparing to explore Jupiter and its moons, is a highly anticipated project in space and astronomy.

The satellite behind Europe’s next flagship space mission is ready to be sent to French Guiana for an April launch to explore three of Jupiter’s largest icy moons, manufacturer Airbus announced Jan. 20.

The Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) has been undergoing final assembly and testing for nearly a year and a half in France with Airbus, which was selected as prime contractor back in 2015.

Final preparations included the integration of a huge 85-square-meter solar array, developed by Germany’s Azur Space, to ensure the spacecraft has enough power 740 million kilometers away from the sun.

Airbus is set to ship JUICE in early February to Arianespace’s launchpad in Kourou, French Guiana, where it is slated to launch on one of the last two remaining Ariane 5 rockets before Ariane 6’s debut in late 2023.
