ESA's Juice probe swings by Earth and Moon in August for gravity assistance towards Jupiter.
The European Space Agency's Juice probe, launched in April 2023, will swing by Earth and the Moon next month as it navigates through the Solar System towards Jupiter. The probe aims to discover if Jupiter's icy moons, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa, can host life in their vast, hidden oceans. On August 19-20, the spacecraft will use Earth and the Moon's gravity to save fuel during its eight-year journey to Jupiter.
