ALT The image was taken by Juice monitoring camera 1 (JMC1) at 14:38 CEST, following launch at 14:14 CEST. JMC1 is located on the front of the spacecraft and looks diagonally up into a field of view that will eventually see deployed antennas, and depending on their orientation, part of one of the solar arrays. The coastline around the Gulf of Aden can be made out to the right of centre, with patchy clouds above land and sea.

ALT This image was taken by Juice monitoring camera 1 (JMC1), which is located on the front of the spacecraft and looks diagonally up into a field of view that will eventually see deployed antennas, and depending on their orientation, part of one of the solar arrays. Because of the acute viewing angle of the camera, only part of the array is seen, in this case part of the distinctive cross-shape pattern of one of the solar panels.

ALT The RIME antenna is seen in stowed configuration with the Earth in the background. The 16 m-long Radar for Icy Moons Exploration (RIME) antenna is an ice-penetrating radar that will be used to remotely probe the subsurface structure of the large moons of Jupiter. It will be deployed in stages over the coming days.
