The Exploration of Jupiter and its Moons by ESA’s JUICE Mission

Workshop
January 25, 2026 - January 30, 2026
The JUICE mission was launched in 2023 and will reach Jupiter in 2031. It will explore the Jupiter system with a particular focus on its largest moon Ganymede. This school will cover the main science topics of the mission with the goal to best prepare the future exploitation and interpretation of its data. Key topics include Jupiter, its atmosphere and magnetosphere, the icy Galilean moons (with an emphasis on Ganymede), minor moons and the dust and ring system. Ground- and space- based observations recently obtained on the Jupiter system, as well as links with exoplanet science, will also be presented.
