The European Space Agency (ESA)’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) spacecraft will perform a flyby past the Moon and then past Earth itself to take Juice on a shortcut to Jupiter via Venus. This maneuver will change Juice’s speed and direction to alter its course through space. Following Juice’s launch in April 2023, this lunar-Earth flyby is the first step in the spacecraft’s journey through the Solar System on its journey to Jupiter.
