The £14bn Juice mission was launched on an Ariane 5 spacecraft, the start of a 4.1 billion-mile journey to Jupiter and its moons that will take more than eight years. When contact finally was confirmed close to an hour into the flight, Mission Control in Germany declared: “The spacecraft is alive!” Juice, a robotic explorer, will scope out the solar system’s biggest planet and three ice-encrusted moons which are believed to have underground oceans where sea life could exist. “Of course, one of these questions is: Is there life out there?” It can't find life, “but Juice will be identifying the habitability of these icy moons around Jupiter”, he added. If all goes well, Juice should reach Jupiter in July 2031 and will have enough fuel to make 35 flybys of the icy moons before orbiting Ganymede from December 2034.
