Zayn Rayyan case: Parents of autistic boy seek gag order on five TikTok accounts for live broadcast videos on caseEngineers work around the ESA’s ‘Juice’ probe during its unveiling for media in Toulouse, on January 20, 2023, a few days ahead of its departure to Kourou space centre. A spacecraft that launched in April 2023 will slingshot back around Earth and the Moon in August 2024 in a high-stakes, worlds-first manoeuvre as it pinballs its way through the Solar System to Jupiter .
Without an enormous rocket, sending Juice straight to Jupiter would require 60 tonnes of onboard propellant — and Juice has just three tonnes, according to the ESA. Many other space missions have used planets for gravity boosts, but next month’s Earth-Moon flyby will be a “world first”, the ESA said. The probe will leave Earth at a speed of “3.3 kilometres a second — instead of three kilometres if we had not added the Moon”, Boutonnet said.
