The Most Exciting Probe that No-one is Talking About | ESA JUICE Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer

[@stussymishka]

much respect to ESA for this project. Havent heard much talk on Europa from NASA or SpaceX

[@toadtws]

NASA is doing another Europa probe, called the Europa Clipper. Despite not having launched yet, it is scheduled to arrive at Europa first. The two missions will be at Jupiter together for 18+ months.

[@RTSRafnex2]

SpaceX is rocket company, they don't do science...

[@benjaminrickdonaldson]

Uh JPL is making europa clipper, we're talkin a lot about europa. Also juice is focusing more on ganymede.

[@kukuc96]

@@toadtws Funnily enough, JUICE and Europa Clipper kind of began life as a joint mission between NASA and ESA under the name Europa Jupiter System Mission (although Europa Clipper was an earlier proposal in 1997, but it was rejected at the time), with a Europa and a Ganymede orbiter component. It was proposed in 2008 and effectively canceled in 2011 due to budget issues. But ESA decided to make JUICE based on the Ganymede orbiter which was their part in the joint mission. And then in 2015, the Europa Clipper mission got the go-ahead and funding

[@toadtws]

@@kukuc96 Aaah, that explains why the missions have so much overlap! It almost feels like how Hollywood studios hear about an interesting script and rush out a competitor (Armageddon/Deep Impact; The Prestige/The Illusionist) so the other one doesn't get all the revenue for moviegoers interested in {genre}. But in this case, I love the way the missions will actually complement each other.

The fact that so many wonderful discoveries could be made also comes with a cost and not just a monetary one. Many people speding basically their careers planning, building, stressing over and eventually saying goodbye to a probe that could eventually prove that livable conditions are present on another stellar body. The fact that the spacecraft is already on its way but I for example can't enjoy its findings until I'm 45 years old saddens me. Makes me both curse our short lifespans and also appreciate that that is what drives many people to quick decision making while forcing careful considerations. After all, this probe has the hopes of thousands of engineers, scientists and educators and the dreams of millions riding on it. IT CAN'T GO WRONG. 🥺

[@auroraglacialis]

I wonder - if they had used an atomic battery like with the Voyager Probes, how much weight for inefficient solar panels could have been saved to the benefit of additional sensors and instruments...

[@bbartky]

The problem with nuclear RTGs used on missions like the ones used on Voyager is that they are incredibly expensive compared to much cheaper solar panels. That's why NASA used solar panels for its Juno Jupiter orbiter and will use solar panels on its upcoming Europa Clipper mission. They were able to use the money they saved on scientific instruments or on other missions. Also, solar panels produce more power than RTGs. For example, the ISS, which uses more power than any other object launched into space, is completely solar powered. There are proposals to make nuclear reactors that could outdo solar (e.g., sterling reactors) but they are years away. Generally, RTGs are used when solar isn't readily available (e.g., the surface of Mars where there are dust storms and it's nighttime 50% of the time) or the light levels are too low (e.g., at Saturn and beyond).

[@louisazraels7072]

@@bbartky how expensive is it exactly? Once the tech has been develloped what drives up the cost of subsequent RTG enough that it significantly impacts a $2B project? At face value the tech doesnt seem incredibly complicated. On the other hand we're running out of plutonium 238 since its not longer produced at scale

[@OzoneTheLynx]

@@bbartky Europa Clipper will even use the exact same solar cells, because they have been so thoroughly analyzed for these extreme conditions.

[@auroraglacialis]

@@bbartky Well Its Jupiter and not Saturn, but still as said in the video the solar panels need to be several times as large as they would have to be on Earth or Mars. And this then quickly becomes very costly as well, especially considering they have to be controlled, rotated, folded/unfolded, protected during inner solar system flybys, so its a lot more points of failure with them than with a RTG. Personally I think they worry about the PR issue more than cost. The public does not really like nuclear so much and the idea that there will be plutoium on a rocket that could explode or there could be some uncontrolled re-entry of the thing scares people.

[@kukuc96]

The standard MMRTG simply might not be powerful enough for this mission. The solar panels on JUICE produce almost 8 times the power of one of those standard RTGs, even out at Jupiter.

[@tsuribachi]

apparently getting to orbit of Venus is not as difficult as that of Mercury.

[@thebeautyofuniverse5250]

Nah, planet mercury is the only one hard, venus isn’t so bad, you see, planet Venus is the closest planet to distance to us so yeah, meanwhile planet mercury is way harder because it’s further away, sometimes more then mars to us Actually it’s easier to go to venus then mars as it requires less fuel Also, Juice is a very heavy spacecraft, 5 tons in weight, and thus requires way more Delta-V (the amount of speed to give) No, it’s not because it reach’s beyond max weight and now rocket can’t lift it, no, it’s just it needs enough speed in order to reach certain planets And thus, instead of using larger rockets, they use gravity assists in order to carry the heavy spacecraft towards Jupiter with minimal fuel consumed in order to spend its fuels exploring its moons and eventually orbit Ganymede

Stunning work in this most heartening of collaborative ventures. I wonder if in all the planning that ESA may have overlooked a significant risk to extra terrestrial life if it exists out there in these sub surface oceans. At the end if its mission, Juice will crash into the surface of Ganymede. Accepting that objects such as asteroids collide with the Jovian moons, the impact of a space craft weighing over two tons and travelling at great speed will undoubtedly send considerable shock waves through the water in which we are hoping to find life. There is no light in those oceans, so we can safely assume that if there is multicellular life that it will sense changes in the water around itself, such as movement, by pressure. Whereas we ca do nothing about asteroid impactors, we had a choice about how to end this mission.
