Juice Probe Begins Scientific Exploration of Jupiter and Its Moons
TL;DR Summary
The European Space Agency's JUICE mission, which launched on April 14, has deployed its magnetometer boom and recorded a blip of its surrounding magnetic field. The boom will be used to record measurements of Jupiter's magnetic field and how it interacts with the internal magnetic field of its largest moon, Ganymede, as well as to probe the subsurface oceans of the planet's icy moons. The spacecraft is expected to arrive at the gas giant system in 2031.
