ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, Juice, travelled overnight from Airbus Friedrichshafen in Germany to ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre, ESTEC in the Netherlands, arriving on 29 April 2021.

Juice will undergo environmental testing in ESTEC's Large Space Simulator to replicate the extreme heating and cooling cycles that the spacecraft will experience on its way to Jupiter.

Once in the Jovian system the mission will spend at least three years making detailed observations of the giant gaseous planet Jupiter and its three large ocean-bearing moons: Ganymede, Callisto and Europa.
