🚀Wishing you all a prosperous 2024🚀 👉 24-25 Jan: SWI will start the new year with a switch on and some important operations including a software in its first checkout during the JUICE cruise phase 🛰️📡 #ESA_JUICE #ESAJuice #esaoperations Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research

We are honored to host this year’s #XLABScienceFestival at #MPSGoettingen on Jan 29th - 30th. Speakers include our directors Sami Solanki and Thorsten Kleine + former European Space Agency #astronaut Thomas Reiter. Talks in German. Infos: tinyurl.com/f4xdhz2f Göttingen Campus Human Spaceflight

After months of quiet cruising, scientists at #MPSGoettingen involved in ESA's Juice mission are getting ready “speak” to their instruments again. The 2nd instrument check starts next week. Looking forward to hearing from you again, Submillimetre Wave Instrument (SWI) and #PEP!

During last week’s ESA's Juice mission commissioning, members of the Submillimetre Wave Instrument (SWI) and #PEP-JEI teams including #MPSGoettingen had a chance to update and optimize the instruments. PEP-JEI even tasted the #solarwind. Thanks for the good work! Looking forward to Earth-Moon-flyby this summer.

👉 Today: already 1 year from JUICE 🚀 👉SWI has been operated during Apr-Jul 2023 & Jan 2024🛰️📡 👉We had also several Sci&Ops meetings 🗓️☕️Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research LabAstroBordeaux 情報通信研究機構 Chalmers University of Technology Universität Bern ESA Operations 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇵🇱🇸🇪🇯🇵🇨🇭 Go JUICE! Go SWI!😇 ESA's Juice mission

One year after the launch of ESA's Juice mission, scientists from the #SWI_JUICE Science Consortium are meeting at Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research to prepare for the instrument’s upcoming activities: the next checkout window in July and the #Earth and #Moon #flyby in August.

Ready to go! Today, #Sunrise_III successfully passed the last tests and proved that all systems are working smoothly. We’re now waiting for the stratospheric winds to pick up – and for good launch conditions near the ground.

At Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Ground Reference Model of #SWI_JUICE has moved to a new “home”. The radiometric thermal vacuum chamber JUPITER simulates the cold environment in the #Jupiter system down to 4 Kelvin. Thanks to everyone for making this happen! ESA's Juice mission

⏰Today, in a few hours, the #SWI_JUICE will wake up for the ESA's Juice mission second payload check-out window (PCW-02) activities! Dear SWI, We wish you a good and productive day from Earth!  📡🛰️ Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research LabAstroBordeaux 情報通信研究機構 Chalmers University of Technology Universität Bern ESA Operations

Go, #Sunrise_III! Good luck and have a safe journey!

👉count down for the world's firsts lunar-Earth flyby! Follow up live the news tonight from ESA youtube or X channels. Our SWI will be switched on and will perform ~56 hours of operations from tonight till 23rd of August.🤞 Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research ESA's Juice mission

Good news from last night: 👉JUICE Lunar Gravity Assist successful! 👌And, SWI operationes went smooth! ⏰Tonight JUICE will visit Earth at an altitude of 6800 km. Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research ESA's Juice mission

👉JUICE first Earth Gravity Assist maneuver last night went excellent last night!!! SWI science data will be available soon, but the house keeping data point to a good performance 👌 More images will be available on ESA web today!

During this week's lunar-Earth flyby, #ESAJuice's Navigation Camera (NavCam) was tested out in space for the first time. Though NavCam was actually designed to help Juice steer around Ganymede, Europa and Callisto, these images aren't bad either 😍 More 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…

📡After tense last week JUICE LEGA🛰️: 🙂 SWI performed ~42 hrs of its planned ~56 hrs operation (no major issue) 🙂 SWI data have good quality to provide insight about the instrument functionality and performance 💻 It is time to evaluate the data🔍 ESA's Juice mission Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research

📸 Captured on camera! 🌑🌍 These two little marbles we call our cosmic home were photographed by Juice from over 5 million km, as the spacecraft waved us goodbye while heading towards Venus. The images were taken using different exposure times as part of inflight tests and

Say cheese, again! 📸😄 Juice’s scientific camera, JANUS, had a go too at snapping an Earth–Moon portrait, as it sailed off towards Venus. After its Venus flyby in August 2025, #ESAJuice will be back, passing by Earth again in September 2026 and January 2029.

A spacecraft in flight changes the space about it. A new DIAS Dunsink Observatory study shows that @ESA's Jupiter mission ESA's Juice mission has incurred extensive surface charging, a surrounding cloud of photoelectrons & a 65-m-long wake of ion-free space behind the spacecraft

Congratulations: ESA's Juice mission has received ESA’s 2023 Team Achievement Award! Here, #SWI_JUICE PI Paul Hartogh and former AIV/T manager Ali Ravanbakhsh of Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research present their awards after the ceremony. Thanks to the JUICE team at #MPSGoettingen for making this possible!

2024 was tense and successful with the SWI cruise phase operations PCW01, PCW02 and LEGA! Looking forward to 2025 operations! ESA's Juice mission Centre spatial guyanais Arianespace Airbus Space Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research #happyholidays #ESAJuice
