Juice launch to Jupiter

We’re going to Jupiter – and three of its moons! The Juice spacecraft is now securely fastened to an Ariane 5 rocket and ready for launch. Juice, for Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, will explore Jupiter’s complex environment in depth after an eight-year journey. Follow all the action and learn more about the mission in this special programme co-produced by ESA and Arianespace. Lift-off is expected at 14:14 CEST and our presenters will be live all the way until confirmation of the deployment of the spacecraft’s solar arrays. We will also take questions from social media using #AskESA. The programme will be followed by a press conference starting at 16:20 CEST.
