Interplanetary spacecraft faces minor setback in Europe.

TL;DR Summary
The European Space Agency's spacecraft, Juice, bound for the moons of Jupiter, has encountered a problem with its 16-meter-long antenna, which is part of its radar instrument. The antenna remains stuck to its mounting bracket and is only extended about one-third of its full length. Engineers are working to solve the issue, and various options are available to nudge the important instrument out of its current position. The rest of the spacecraft is healthy, and the remainder of the commissioning process has gone smoothly.
