JUICE (Ice Moon Explorer of Jupiter or Icy Moon Explorer of Jupiter) will focus on analysis Ganimids In search of habitable worlds.

Jupiter’s moons are attractive because of the oceans of liquid water lurking beneath its frozen surface.

JUICE and the Long Way to the Ganimids

It is planned that the probe JUICE arrive in 2034 into orbit Ganimidswhich is the largest satellite of the solar system, which also has its own magnetic field that protects it from radiation.

tools JUICE they will survey the ocean Ganimids estimate its depth, distance from the surface and, if possible, composition.

All this will be in orbit Ganimids about eight months, reaching an altitude of 200 kilometers.

POT will also begin his mission European clipperwhich will analyze another one of Jupiter’s moons: Europe. The data from both missions are expected to complement each other.
