Juice spacecraft orbiting Ganymede, illustration
Illustration of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) spacecraft orbiting Ganymede. The solar wings are the largest ever flown on an interplanetary mission. The size is essential to generate sufficient power for the instruments and spacecraft so far from the Sun. The mission plans to study three large ocean-bearing moons; Ganymede (foreground), Callisto (middle ground) and Europa (background). The mission will study these moons as both planetary objects and possible habitats and explore Jupiter's complex atmospheric environment The mission will study these moons as both planetary objects and possible habitats and explore Jupiter's complex atmospheric environment. to understand more about gas giants across the Universe. by CLAUS LUNAU/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
