"JUICE Probe Harnesses Earth and Moon's Gravity to Reach Jupiter"

The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft performed a 43-minute burn to position itself for an upcoming Earth-moon flyby, which will be the first-ever double gravity assist of the two celestial bodies. This maneuver used up 10% of the spacecraft's fuel, and it is part of a series of gravity assists that will slingshot JUICE towards Jupiter to study the planet and its icy moons. The burn was challenging as some aspects couldn't be tested in advance, but if successful, JUICE may not need to use its main engine again until it enters orbit around Jupiter in 2031.
