2024 - Airbus: JUICE is on its way to Jupiter

(CercleFinance.com) – The group announces that JUICE (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) has spread its wings after the successful takeoff of Ariane 5.

JUICE, built by Airbus, is now officially on its way to Jupiter.

‘Bringing together 80 partners in 23 countries and mobilizing the brainpower of more than 2,000 people, Airbus has designed and built JUICE under a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA)’ says Airbus.

‘After years of work, watching this launch live from our sites across Europe was a very emotional moment for everyone who worked on this incredible mission. It’s the best of Europe coming together,’ said Michael Schöllhorn, CEO of Airbus Defense and Space from Kourou.

The JUICE probe will make a unique four-year visit to the Jupiter system. JUICE is expected to arrive on Jupiter in 2031.
