Juice mission completes Venus flyby On August 31, 2025, ESA‘s JUICE spacecraft completed a flyby of Venus. It was performing a gravity assist, using the planet’s gravitational pull to help it pick up the speed required to eventually soar to Jupiter. It’s set to reach the gas g…
The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JOPI) returned to Venus for a second gravity slingshot acceleration. However, due to its close orbit to the Sun, the high temperatures shut down its sensors and prevented it from taking images. Its primary mission is to study Jupiter and Ganymede, with a third acceleration planned for a close pass by Earth next January. The US Europa Clipper has launched and is expected to reach Jupiter's o…
ESA’s JUICE Probe Uses Venus Flyby to Stay on Track for Jupiter’s Icy Moons
The European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) successfully executed a Venus flyby on August 31, 2025, using the planet’s gravity to speed toward Jupiter. Engineers overcame a brief antenna glitch before the maneuver, and the spacecraft endured Venus’s intense heat by shielding itself with its high-gain antenna.
