We are on the way to #Jupiter and its ocean worlds! 🤩
With the critical milestone of solar array deployment completed, we have a mission!
ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) lifted off on an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana at 14:14 CEST on 14 April. The successful launch marks the beginning of an ambitious voyage to uncover the secrets of the ocean worlds around giant planet Jupiter.
The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission is scheduled to launch tonight at 21:15 JST! This photograph was snapped by Project Manager for JUICE-Japan Saito Yoshifumi at Europe's spaceport in Kourou.
The launch window is apparently 1 second (!) due to the precise alignment of the planets needed for all the gravity kicks JUICE needs to reach Jupiter. This requires a perfect count down! But if missed, there are similar windows all month.
Scotland's capital Edinburgh is built on ancient volcanos. One, Arthur's Seat, has great views over the city and surroundings. Walk down the Royal Mile from the castle to Scotland's Parliament and then climb Arthur's Seat.
