The launch of the European probe Juice to Jupiter has been postponed due to bad weather conditions. The next attempt will take place in 24 hours, at the same time within 30 seconds, the European Space Agency said.
Juice is set to explore Jupiter and its icy moons, in search of habitable environments for extraterrestrial life forms. The trip is planned to last eight years, and is the first time that space Europe has launched towards a planet in the outer solar system, which begins after Mars. It comes in the midst of the launcher crisis for Europe, virtually deprived of autonomous access to space after the departure of Russian Soyuz rockets.
