Arianespace's Ariane 5 successfully launched the JUICE space probe, initiating Europe's first mission to Jupiter's icy moons to explore potential life and solar system dynamics. The 116th Ariane 5 launch, operated by Arianespace, successfully placed the JUICE space probe in an escape orbit.
The 116th Ariane 5 launch, operated by Arianespace, successfully placed the ESA’s JUICE space probe into an escape orbit, marking Europe’s first mission to Jupiter. The probe, built by Airbus Defence and Space, will spend at least three years observing Jupiter’s icy moons, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, in search of potential habitats for life and insights into the solar system’s workings.
This will be Europe’s first mission to the Jovian system. Its passenger, JUICE, will spend at least three years observing Jupiter’s icy moons, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Stéphane Israël, CEO of Arianespace, said: “Arianespace is honored to have been entrusted with this launch, the first European mission to Jupiter, and to play a part in expanding our understanding of the solar system and the necessary conditions for the emergence of life. In preparing for this mission, we have worked hand in hand with ESA, Airbus Defence and Space, ArianeGroup, and French space agency CNES.
The propulsion system for the JUICE spacecraft was developed, built, and integrated in Germany by ArianeGroup’s Orbital Propulsion teams, and comprises the 400 N main engine to be used for Jupiter orbit injection, 20 small thrusters, and two titanium propellant tanks.
