Regarding the European Space Agency’s recent JUICE Mission, consider the following statements:

To put robotic landers on the moon to study the lunar terrain and radiation environment.

To explore Jupiter and three of its icy moons — Ganymede, Callisto and Europa — in depth.

To study a metal-rich asteroid, also named Psyche, which only appears as a fuzzy blur to ground and space-based telescopes.

To gather data on the amount of water on the moon.

Explanation:

Correct Option: (b) Explanation: Option (b) is correct : The highly anticipated Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer mission, known as JUICE will spend three years exploring Jupiter and three of its icy moons — Ganymede, Callisto and Europa — in depth. Supplementary notes JUICE Mission The European Space Agency launched its maiden mission to explore the moons of the largest planet in the solar system. The Jupiter ICy Moons Explorer (Juice) mission launched onboard Europe’s Ariane-5 rocket to the outer solar system. The spacecraft lifted off from Europe’s spaceport in French Guiana on an eightyear-long journey to the three biggest moons of Jupiter. The spacecraft will observe Jupiter and its three largest moons: Callisto, Europa, and, in particular, Ganymede. The moon’s buried oceans could tell us whether life can arise in different environments across the cosmos. The objective is to explore the moons for habitability and to explore if it is possible to live around giants. The mission will reach Jupiter in July 2031 with the aid of momentum and direction gained from four gravity-assist fl y-bys of the Earth-Moon system, Venus, and, twice, Earth. Flight VA 260 will be the fi nal Ariane 5 fl ight to carry an ESA mission to space.
