The lift-off is set to take place on 13 April 2023 from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. Europe and its international partners are sending the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) to explore Jupiter and its three ocean-bearing moons – Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa – with a suite of remote sensing, geophysical, and in situ instruments. This exciting mission will characterise these moons as both planetary objects and possible habitats, explore Jupiter’s complex environment in depth, and study the wider Jupiter system as an archetype for gas giants across the Universe. JUICE will be the first spacecraft to orbit a moon other than our own – Jupiter’s largest moon Ganymede. Hoping that you will honour us with your presence at Europe’s Spaceport, we would be grateful if you could confirm your attendance to the ESA Protocol Office ([email protected]) at your earliest convenience. As you may be aware, launch date is subject to change. Should that turn out to be the case, you will be informed promptly of any adjustments to the launch viewing activities and practical arrangements, to allow you to adjust your travel plans accordingly. I very much hope that you will be able to join the ESA delegation in French Guiana to witness this very important launch which will represent a new major milestone in our cooperation.
