PROBE VISITS THREE MOONS

When the European JUICE (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) probe leaves Earth in 2022, it will head for the Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa moons, which are all orbiting Jupiter. The three moons could very well have the right conditions for both liquid water and life. During the 11 year mission, the spacecraft will orbit Ganymede, exploring whether the moon is hiding large quantities of water beneath the hostile ice crust.

JUICE Ganymede The JUICE probe is to orbit in the vicinity of Jupiter for 3.5 years.
