JUICE Mission
2 reportsJUICE Mission is a space mission that uses a spacecraft and scientific payload to investigate a defined target or physical environment. The project is evaluated through instrument calibration, target body, and launch window, separating design goals from capabilities demonstrated in operation.
Questions raised by JUICE Mission are explored through mission objectives; trajectory and operations; and instrument data releases. The analysis begins with calibrated observations for instrument data releases, and uses peer-reviewed mission results to identify where the explanation succeeds or fails; the comparison must account for the fact that prelaunch goals must be separated from measurements actually returned.

NASA's Juno Mission Transformed Jupiter Science After 2011 Launch
NASA's Juno spacecraft, launched in 2011 on an Atlas V rocket, reached Jupiter in 2016 and has since delivered unprecedented data and images, reshaping our understanding of the giant planet's atmosphere, magnetic field, and moons
Europa Clipper May Miss Ocean Water Rising Through Europa's Ice
Computer simulations suggest turbulent water rising through Europa's ice would freeze its pathways shut, making shallow surface pools poor indicators of the moon's buried ocean
