The JUICE Airbus-built space probe will explore the three icy moons of Jupiter: Europa, Callisto and Ganymede with the objective of finding water and traces of life.
The space probe will encounter extreme environmental conditions during its 8-year trip, including very high and low temperatures, particularly during its flybys over three planets on its journey to Jupiter. We have the chance to take a closer look at the Jovian system: Pléiades Neo 30cm resolution satellite has been directed towards Jupiter and captured these incredible images of the giant gas planet and some of its natural satellites. See below:
