ESA’s Announcement of Opportunity for the JUICE spacecraft
Editor: | Jun 28 , 2012
Recently, ESA invites the scientific community to propose instruments to be flown on board the JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft.
JUICE has been selected in May 2012 as the “L1” mission in the Cosmic Vision plan, with a foreseen launch date of 2022.
JUICE is designed to visit the Jupiter system concentrating on the characterization of Ganymede, Europa and Callisto as planetary objects and potential habitats, and on the exploration of the Jupiter system, considered as an archetype for gas giants in the solar system and elsewhere.
The details regarding the Announcement of Opportunity are provided at http://sci.esa.int/juice_ao. Deadline for the submission of the proposal to ESA is October 15, 2012.
