The Juice spacecraft successfully performed a lunar-Earth flyby, utilizing the gravity of both bodies to change its trajectory and conserve fuel on its way to Jupiter. The mission, controlled from the Darmstadt control center, collected data and captured images during the smooth maneuver.
With the help of the flyby, scientists were able to study the behavior of the Juice instruments and ensure the success of the mission. Experts had initially expressed concerns about the risk involved, as the smallest error could have jeopardized the entire mission.
However, the flyby was a triumph for the European Space Agency and marks an important milestone in the journey towards exploring Jupiter and its moons, including Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede, where the possibility of water and conditions for life exist.
