The Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE) is a planned European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft to visit the Jovian system focused in particular on studying three of Jupiter’s moons; Ganymede Callisto and Europa. It will characterise these worlds all thought to have significant bodies of liquid water beneath their surfaces as potentially habitable environments. Selection of the mission for the L1 launch slot of ESA’s Cosmic Vision science programme was announced on May 2 2012.
