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

    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. 🥺

    could be a forward planetary protection problem. There are no stable orbits there, so if something breaks: it's going into the ice, hot and dirty. The requirement is no bacteria replication for 10,000 years. While they can clean the outside, the inside they can't, and with no atmosphere, it's getting cracked open when it hist Europa, and that RTG is going to make a nice warm puddle for 80 years.

    ESA is doing it right. Even though we can visit planets/moons which are closer to us, the truth is there are better discoveries further out. ESA is playing the long game. While others focus on what is close, they focus on what is far. I think amazing discoveries will come out of these missions. The only annoyance is the dependancy on solar panes for far out missions. Voyager1 and 2 showed us the benefits of using nuclear power.

This is all kind of unintentionally hidden from public view in labs and only because of your channel are we able to see it. 8-12 years is a looooong time to wait. Hopefully it can swing by Rosa on it's way!

    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.

    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).

    @@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.

    There are precisely two missions that I hope to be able to live to see. One is a lander with drone mission to Titan's lake regions. The other is a submersible exploration of Europa. At the least, maybe just a standard rover that can traverse and inspect the cracks in the ice. Mars is cool and all. I do want to see a human presence on the red planet. But Titan and Europa intrigue me so much more. There's just so much that could be going on. Mars is basically a dead planet. Even if we found life it would be simple and barely hanging on. Europa has the potential to support a relatively diverse ecosystem. Titan may not have that same benefit, but the geology more than makes up for it.

    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

    3 days ago 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.
