Great news!
Bjorn's mention of 1997 helps me frame how I, and I'm sure some others see this: Since the Galileo Orbiter, that mission's shortcomings, notably the extremely limited data rate, have created the feeling that we needed a follow-up to replace the thorough study of the Galileans that we lost. Now, though it will arrive 35 years (!) after Galileo did, this is going to be a major part of filling that gap. Combined with Europa Clipper, JUICE will far more than replace the observations we lost back in 1996-2000 as far as the three outer Galileans go. But for now, we wait some more! |
