8️⃣ days to launch! #ESAJuice meets #Ariane5 🛰️🚀😍 Juice has been transferred to the final assembly building and attached to the launcher! More information and latest high-res images 👉 esa.int/Science_Exploration/…
The Juice spacecraft (centre) is being bolted to the top of the Ariane 5 rocket (bottom) by a team of about six technicians wearing yellow hazard suits.

Like every launch, @ariane5 flight #VA260 from @EuropeSpacePort will be a time of high anxiety, but it's only the first minutes of @esa's challenging 12-year @ESA_JUICE mission to Jupiter...

A few hours after @esa_Juice's launch, the mission is in trouble. 🛰️#Operations Manager Ignacio Tanco looks defeated and sighs, “what a mess”. We are mid-way through one of the most stressful simulations the Flight Control Team has been throughℹ️👉esa.int/Enabling_Support/Ope… 🧵👇

The man putting Juice under pressure

Petr Shlyaev's job is to dream up all the ways a mission can go wrong. He then puts mission operators to the test, as they fly a fake spacecraft that keeps going wrong to be ready for the real thing

#ESAJuice and @ariane5 are almost ready to meet 🤝 Here, engineers attach the spacecraft to the golden cylinder that will connect it to the rocket. This marks the start of the 'combined operations' @ESA and @Arianespace run together up to launch 🚀
