The ESA's Juice mission is officially off, and to celebrate the spacecraft took four photos of Earth and itself.
JUICE took its final photos of Earth with the two cameras that are situated on the spacecraft. JUICE monitoring camera 1 is located on the front of the spacecraft. It looks diagonally up toward one of the solar arrays. The second camera is on the top of the spacecraft.
JMC2 is ideally placed to monitor the multi-stage deployment o JUICE’s 16 m-long Radar for Icy Moons Exploration antenna. This antenna will allow JUICE to peer deep within the ice that covers the surface of Jupiter’s moons. While these photos of Earth that JUICE took are just the start, it’s always cool to see a spacecraft’s final image of Earth as it makes its way away from the planet we call home.
Of course, this won’t be JUICE’s last time seeing Earth, as it will complete a lunar-Earth gravity assist several times throughout its prolonged journey to Jupiter, so we could likely see more JUICE photos of Earth throughout the coming years of its trek through our solar system.
