Spacecraft will slingshot around Earth and the moon this week on its way to Jupiter
By Ashley Strickland, CNN (CNN) — The European Space Agency’s Juice mission is about to make two historic firsts on its long journey to study the potential habitability of Jupiter’s icy moons. The Juice, or Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, spacecraft — launched in April 2023 — will conduct the first flyby of the moon and Earth in succession and the first double gravity assist maneuver on Monday and Tuesday. This process will serve as a slingshot, allowing Earth’s gravity to put the brakes on Juice’s current trajectory and redirect it for a flyby of Venus in August 2025. Then, Juice can take a shortcut through the solar system and be on track to arrive at Jupiter and its moons in July 2031.
