JUICE is fully loaded for interplanetary action
The 10 instruments coming along for the ride comprise the “most powerful remote sensing, geophysical and in situ [sensors for gathering data in JUICE’s immediate environment] payload complement ever flown to the outer Solar System,” ESA claims. Both NASA and Japan’s space agency contributed to this diverse suite of tools. Specific capabilities include optical and spectral imaging, sensors for exploring the moons’ surface and subsurface features, and instruments for measuring magnetic fields and radio and plasma waves.
