24. ESA’s Juice Mission

In this episode, we speak with Nicolas Altobelli, the science operations and development manager for the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) mission. Launched in April 2023 by the European Space Agency, this interplanetary spacecraft is currently on its way to orbit and study three icy moons of Jupiter: Ganymede, Callisto and Europa, and what would make them potentially habitable for extraterrestrial life.
