How is the position calculated?

Calculation time: 2026-Oct-29 00:00:00.0000 TDB (astronomical time scale, approximately one minute before UTC). Projection onto the plane of the Earth's orbit; object sizes enlarged. Signal path calculated from geometric distance.

Juice is to investigate Jupiter's icy moons. You can find planned mission dates in the automatically updated mission portrait. The preview uses calculated orbit data; manoeuvres and plans can change it.
