ESA's Juice Mission Completes Third Gravity Assist Towards Jupiter

The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) spacecraft has successfully executed its third gravity assist maneuver this week. This complex operation adjusted Juice's trajectory by approximately 20 degrees and increased its speed by about 3.5 km per second. The maneuver is a crucial step in propelling the spacecraft efficiently towards its primary objective of exploring Jupiter's icy moons Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto.
