ESA ’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) successfully completes world- first lunar- Earth flyby.
Juice flew just 6840 km above Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean .
The purpose of the flyby was to reroute Juice 's path through space, using the gravity of first the Moon and then Earth to change the spacecraft's speed and direction.
Juice has a little extra propellant in its tanks to get closer to Jupiter 's Ganymede than originally planned.
Juice launched on an Ariane 5 from Europe ’s Spaceport in Kourou in April 2023 .
It has an eight-year cruise with flybys of Earth and Venus to slingshot it to Jupiter .
It will study the Jupiter system as an archetype for gas giant systems across the Universe .
