The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced a new mission to explore Jupiter’s icy moons. Known as the JUICE mission, it will send a spacecraft to Jupiter in order to study the three icy moons - Callisto, Ganymede, and Europa. The spacecraft will be equipped with 11 scientific instruments to study the composition and structure of Jupiter’s moons, as well as the environment around them. This mission is expected to provide us with new insights into the formation and evolution of the Jovian system, as well as the potential for life to exist on the icy moons. It will be the first mission to explore all three of Jupiter’s icy moons, and will bring us closer to answering the age-old question of whether or not we’re alone in the universe.
