© European Space Agency Expected to arrive at Jupiter in 2031, JUICE will explore three of the planet’s moons, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa. By orbiting Ganymede, JUICE will study the potential for habitability and search for evidence of a global ocean underneath the icy crust.
Join Emma Bunce, director of the Institute for Space at the University of Leicester and co-investigator on the JUICE mission, for a special journey to Jupiter. Professor Bunce will discuss the mission's challenges in exploring Jupiter and delve into the intriguing possibilities for discovery arising from studying the electromagnetic interaction between these icy Jovian moons and Jupiter's rotating magnetosphere.
