Next month, ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) will carry out the first combined lunar-Earth flyby. Preparations are under way at ESA mission control for this highly precise manoeuvre, which will harness the gravitational forces of the Moon and Earth in quick succession to line Juice up for the next stage of its journey to Jupiter.
During the Earth flyby, Juice will pass within the altitude of satellites in geostationary and medium-Earth orbits. ESA’s Space Debris Office will scan Juice’s trajectory to ensure a safe passage free from other satellites or space debris.
After the lunar-Earth flyby, as Juice bids farewell to its home planet for the second time, the teams will evaluate its new trajectory and carry out any further minor correction manoeuvres as needed.

Mission control ready for action

During the critical phase, Juice will remain in near-constant contact with mission control via ESA's network of deep space antennas
During the recent ‘dry run’ of the payload operations that will take place during the double flyby, the flight control team commanded Juice to operate its various cameras and scientific instruments exactly as it will do during the real flybys to ensure that all systems behave as expected.
Juice’s instruments are designed to study a planet and its moons, so the lunar-Earth flyby offers a rare opportunity to test and calibrate them on similar objects and prepare them for their scientific activities at Jupiter.
In more ways than one, the successful execution of the first lunar-Earth flyby will bring Juice one step closer to unveiling the mysteries of Jupiter and its icy moons.
