The first launch of the year for Arianespace<\/h2>\n

Arianespace, Europe\u2019s only operational launch provider, announced Tuesday it is set to make its 2023 debut launch with an Ariane 5 rocket on April 13. The payload, a rather exciting one, is ESA\u2019s Jupiter Icy moons Explorer or JUICE. This will be the continent\u2019s first mission to Jupiter and will try to answer some pretty big questions: what are the conditions for planet formation and the emergence of life, and how does the Solar System work?<\/p>\n

JUCIE\u2019s mission will be to spend three years exploring the Jovian system and particularly the three largest moons Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. All three are believed to harbor a subsurface ocean which gets a lot of astrobiologists excited about the possibility of life being found there. JUICE will eventually settle in orbit around Ganymede, the largest of the three.<\/p>\n

Ariane 5 is Arianespace\u2019s heavy-lift rocket, capable of sending over 20,000 kg to low Earth orbit. Of course, JUICE\u2019s mission will be lifting the probe out of the grasp of Earth\u2019s orbit and on a path for Jupiter.<\/p>\n
