Abstract: This presentation will provide an overview of JUICE’s long journey, even before lifting off from Earth. From the early study phase starting in 2003 to the challenges of the development phase, all the way to the breathtaking launch in 2023. The talk will also provide an insight into the challenges of the commissioning phase, which included the nerve wrecking RIME antenna deployment. It will conclude with a description of the long road to Jupiter, where JUICE will arrive in 2031, including the recent, successful Lunar Earth Gravity Assist and only then the science mission will start |
