ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, Juice, is set to embark on an eight-year cruise to Jupiter starting April 2023. The mission will investigate the emergence of habitable worlds around gas giants and the Jupiter system as an archetype for the numerous giant planets now known to orbit other stars.

While in Jupiter orbit, the spacecraft will study the Jovian system as an archetype for gas giants, making observations of its atmosphere, magnetosphere, rings and satellites. A sequence of 15 Callisto flybys (from August 2032–August 2033) will change the angle of Juice’s orbit with respect to Jupiter’s equator, making it possible to investigate the polar regions and environment of the giant planet at higher latitudes.

Watch the full sequence of Juice’s journey to, and tour of, Jupiter and its icy moons.
