#JUICEMission #ESAJuice

The ESA Space Debris Office confirmed that Juice's trajectory is free from space debris or active satellites. Juice's path tonight is clear. #ESAJuice #JuiceMission #LunarEarthFlyby #ESA #Lunar #Earth #Moon #IcyMoons #Jupiter #Space #science

Juice is now in geostationary orbit and closer to Earth than satellites in geostationary orbit. #ESAJuice #JuiceMission #LunarEarthFlyby #ESA #Lunar #Earth #Moon #IcyMoons #Jupiter #Space #science

Juice's instruments are now back online and ready to collect data. It's the chance for the ESA engineers to calibrate the instruments and to smooth out any remaining issues. #ESAJuice #JuiceMission #LunarEarthFlyby #ESA #Lunar #Earth #Moon #IcyMoons #Jupiter #Space #science

The trajectory adjustments operated during the Lunar-Earth flyby preparing Juice for it's flyby at Venus on August 25th 2025. #ESAJuice #JuiceMission #LunarEarthFlyby #ESA #Lunar #Earth #Moon #IcyMoons #Jupiter #Space #science

The #Lunar-Earth flyby has several advantages for Juice mission. First it brings Juice one step closer to Jupiter and saves a lot of propellant. ESA can also ensure instruments for extra science at Ganymede #moon. #ESAJuice #JuiceMission #LunarEarthFlyby #ESA #IcyMoons #Jupiter #Space #science

Around 4 hours ago Juice has turned its science instruments towards Earth. The preparation for the closest approach to our home planet has begun. It's being 2 minutes early at 23:56 CEST tonight. #ESAJuice #JuiceMission #LunarEarthFlyby #ESA #Lunar #Earth #Moon #IcyMoons #Jupiter #Space #science

During the day, ESA reported that the trajectory adjustment was successful and no correction was necessary to complete today's flyby on Earth. #ESAJuice #JuiceMission #LunarEarthFlyby #ESA #Lunar #Earth #Moon #IcyMoons #Jupiter #Space #science

The closest approach to Earth is around Midnight giving Juice a great push in velocity. #ESAJuice #JuiceMission #LunarEarthFlyby #ESA #Lunar #Earth #Moon #IcyMoons #Jupiter #Space #science

This is because ESA does not operate antennas in the northern Hemisphere. #ESAJuice #JuiceMission #LunarEarthFlyby #ESA #Lunar #Earth #Moon #IcyMoons #Jupiter #Space #science
