Summary

This video from the ‘Les Dossiers de l’Espace’ series presents the European Space Agency’s JUICE mission, scheduled to launch in 2022 and arrive at Jupiter in 2029. The mission aims to explore Jupiter’s icy moons—Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa—to investigate the potential for subsurface oceans and assess their habitability. The video details the mission’s trajectory, including gravity assists from Earth, Venus, and Mars, and its planned orbital insertion around Jupiter. It explains the scientific evidence for subsurface oceans on these moons, such as magnetic field fluctuations detected by Galileo and the stability of Ganymede’s auroras observed by Hubble. The video highlights the mission’s instruments, including a magnetometer, radar, and spectrometers, and describes the planned orbital phase around Ganymede. It also discusses the potential habitability of these oceans, comparing the conditions on Europa and Ganymede. The video concludes with the current status of the spacecraft assembly and the complementary NASA Europa Clipper mission.
