Juice is ready and soon will be shipped to the launch site in French Guyana.

The target of the Juice is the planet and three of its four largest moons, Europe, Ganymede and Callisto. These moons were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. To honour this discovery three pages of his book, the Sidereus Nuncius (the Starry Messenger) in which Galileo describes his observations and discoveries, have been engraved on a thin Single Layer Insulation (SLI) foil.
In addition, another SLI foil has been engraved with the names of the people who have been making Juice a reality.
Piggy backing on Juice, all these pages will travel to Jupiter soon!

Interviewees featured in this episode are (in order of appearance): Giuseppe Sarri, ESA’s Juice project manager; Luciano Iess, Principal Investigator of the 3GM experiment on board Juice; Lucio Angelo Antonelli, director of the Astronomical Observatory of Rome and Astronomical & Copernican Museum; Sophie Weixler, Airbus Laser facility; and Cyril Cavel, Airbus Juice project manager.

Produced for ESA by Lightcurve Films.
