Prof. Caitriona Jackman, Dr. Mika Holmberg, & Dr. Corentin Louis talk about the JUICE mission.
A team of three researchers from the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) have played a key role in the European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission which launched on Friday 14 April 2023.
The three researchers, who travelled to the European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany for the launch, include Dr. Mika Holmberg, Co-Investigator; Prof. Caitriona Jackman, Associated Scientist; and Dr. Corentin Louis, Associated Scientist. Listen to them speak about the mission in this short video.
The Juice mission aims to make detailed observations of Jupiter, as well as its three large moons, Callisto, Europa and Ganymede – some of which are believed to have oceans below their surfaces.
