JUICE Earth flyby Aug 2024 (ESA) ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission has completed a dual flyby of the Earth and Moon. The spacecraft passed about 750 kilometers above the Moon on Monday, followed 24 hours later by a flyby 6,840 kilometers above the Earth. The flyby, the first time a spacecraft has made gravity-assist swingbys of the Moon and Earth, puts JUICE on course for a Venus flyby next August. That will be followed by two more Earth flybys in 2026 and 2029 before the mission arrives at its destination, Jupiter, in 2031.
