Orbit hair6/15/2023 ![]() JUICE's solar arrays cover an area of 914 square feet (85 square meters) but in the dim world around Jupiter will only produce as much power as a hair dryer. ![]() If the spacecraft were to go to Europa, this lead-lined nuclear mini-bunker would have to be much more robust, Byrne added. "And that effectively limits the amount of radiation that can get to the electronics and extends their life. "There are kilograms of lead on JUICE," Byrne said. Still, the JUICE spacecraft wouldn't survive in this environment for long without some never before used solutions.Īt the heart of the 2.7-ton (2.42 metric tonnes) spacecraft is a lead-lined vault that houses all of the spacecraft electronics (except for the scientific instruments designed to study the extreme environment in the Jupiter system). Radiation around Ganymede is about 100 times weaker compared to Europa, said Byrne. Orbiting Jupiter at a distance of 665,000 miles (1,070,000 km), Ganymede is the third closest to the gas giant of the four main moons. In 2034, three years after JUICE's arrival at Jupiter (if all goes to plan), Ganymede will become the first moon apart from Earth's own moon to have a spacecraft in its orbit. Larger than the solar system's smallest planet Mercury, Ganymede is the biggest moon in the entire solar system and the only one known to generate its own magnetic field.

As a result, radiation levels in the planet's proximity are as high as in the epicenter of a nuclear explosion.Įlectronics of Europe's Jupiter explorer JUICE are encased in a lead-line vault that protects them from the severe radiation around the planet. Worst of all, this super-potent magnetic field traps and supercharges particles that Jupiter and its volcanically hyper-active closest moon Io pump into space around the planet. Jupiter's magnetic field is 10,000 times stronger than that of Earth, which can have an effect on the spacecraft's scientific measurements, Justin Byrne, the head of Science Programs at Airbus Defence and Space, which led the consortium building the JUICE spacecraft, told. That means any visiting spacecraft wishing to rely on solar power has to have enormous solar arrays. Five times farther away from the sun than Earth, Jupiter lives in the solar system's twilight zone, receiving only about 4% of the sunlight that our planet gets. The closer you get to the gas giant and the longer you want to stay in its vicinity, the trickier it gets. ![]() The smallest of Jupiter's four main moons may be the likeliest place in the solar system to host extraterrestrial life in its ice-covered ocean the environment around the moon, however, is so harsh, that it would kill a spacecraft in a couple of months at best, according to NASA. Rinse your hair with lukewarm water, then let your hair dry.Surviving on as little power as half a hair dryer and featuring a "nuclear bunker" to shelter its electronics from radiation, Europe's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) is a technological marvel that wouldn't survive at Europa for long.
