Studying Jupiter and three of its moons is the mission of the European JUICE (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) satellite, which successfully lifted off from the Guiana Space Center on April 14, 2023 on an Ariane 5 launcher. The data collected will enable us to better understand the conditions required for the emergence of life.

Several laboratories at Paris Observatory, including LTE, have contributed to the development of instruments for the JUICE satellite.
