Space exploration began a decadelong quest today: Jupiter and three of its moons.
In this image provided by the European Space Agency, an Ariane rocket carrying the robotic explorer Juice takes off from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, Friday, April 14, 2023. European spacecraft has blasted off on a quest to explore Jupiter and three of its ice-encrusted moons. Dubbed Juice, the robotic explorer set off on an eight-year journey Friday from French Guiana in South America, launching atop an Ariane rocket.
The journey began with a perfect morning liftoff by Europe’s Ariane rocket from French Guiana on the coast of South America. But there were some tense minutes later as controllers awaited signals from the spacecraft. “It’s a moment of pride for Europe,” noted Josef Aschbacher, the space agency’s director general. “I’m just relieved and just so happy.”
