JUICE Solar Panel deployment test

JUICE Solar Panel deployment test at Airbus in Toulouse on 7 July 2020. JUICE - JUpiter ICy moons Explorer - is the first large-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 programme. Planned for launch in 2023, it will spend at least three years making detailed observations of the giant gaseous planet Jupiter and three of its largest moons, Ganymede, Callisto and Europa. Pictures are showing the deployed 16m long RIME antenna & the "Optical Bench" side, where many of JUICE's scientific instruments are hosted.
