Europe’s mission to explore some of the solar system’s most mysterious ice worlds is scheduled to get underway on Thursday local time when the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) is launched into space.
The mission – which will conclude a decade from now – is to chart Jupiter and three of its four largest moons – all of which are covered in thick ice sheets.
