This spring, #ESA launched the #Juice Mission to #Jupiter - but why does it need 8 years to get there when the Voyager space probes, many decades ago, needed under two? Well, because we don't want to just zoom past Jupiter but to hand around there for a while, doing cool science.
And once Juice reached Jupiter comes the even more complicated part - getting into the orbit!
🛰28 April: the EU launched 2 new Galileo satellites!
Earlier this morning, the Galileo satellites were ejected from the launcher's upper stage & reached the Holding Point. They are currently managed by #EUSPA as part of the Launch & Early Orbit Phase (LEOP).
What happens now?
Over the following days, the EUSPA LEOP team will be manoeuvring the satellites from the dedicated #Galileo Control Center in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany until they are placed into their home orbit at 23 220 km.
Today, 6th September, marks 11 years of #EUSPA HQ in Prague 🇨🇿! Hundreds of #EUSpace professionals have passed through our doors, all working towards achieving 🇪🇺 goals like the Green Deal and digital transformation while reinforcing the Union's autonomy and resilience.
