The European Space Agency ’s Juice spacecraft is getting ready for its mission to Jupiter. The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer mission aims to get a close-up look at the moons of Jupiter which could potentially host life.
“This milestone is very important because here we have the spacecraft: It is integrated and ready,” explained Manuela Baroni, Juice AIT & Launcher Interface Engineer at ESA, in a video interview. “We have all the 10 instruments delivered and there, all the platform units are there, the antennas are all in place. So the spacecraft is ready for the test campaign, to verify finally that everything works as expected.
“We have some requirements coming from the environment of Jupiter itself, like temperature and radiation,” said Cyril Cavel, Juice Project Manager, Airbus Defence & Space. “Jupiter is a very aggressive radiation environment that is making the whole design of the spacecraft even more complex.”
