CERN Contributes Key Technology to JUICE Mission: Exploring the Potential for Life Beyond Earth
JUICE is designed to study the three largest moons of Jupiter: Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto. The spacecraft will use a range of scientific instruments to study the moons’ geology, chemistry, and habitability, with the ultimate goal of understanding the origins and evolution of the Jovian system and the potential for life beyond Earth.
CERN contributed to the development of JUICE by providing key technology and expertise in areas such as radiation-hardened electronics and magnetometry. The organization also played a role in the testing and calibration of the spacecraft’s scientific instruments.
The JUICE mission is expected to be a major milestone in the exploration of our solar system and has the potential to yield important insights into the formation and evolution of the Jovian system, as well as the conditions necessary for life to exist elsewhere in the universe.
In summary, the JUICE spacecraft, built by the European Space Agency in collaboration with CERN, has begun its journey to explore Jupiter and its icy moons. The spacecraft will study the geology, chemistry, and habitability of Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto, with the goal of understanding the origins and evolution of the Jovian system and the potential for life beyond Earth. CERN’s contributions to the mission include key technology and expertise in areas such as radiation-hardened electronics and magnetometry.
