JAKARTA - Last week became a historic mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) launching Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE). Now, he has sent back his first image from space.

JUICE took a stunning photograph of the view of Earth. Currently, the spacecraft is on its way to Planet Jupiter to explore three Months.

Among them were Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa which took eight years to get there, before arriving at Jupiter's system in 2031.

Furthermore, the camera embedded in JUICE has taken images leading to Earth and will be used to capture high-resolution Jupiter images and its ice moons in the Jovian system.

However, the latest images sent only produce a relatively low resolution of 1024 x 1024 pixels. This is because the images displayed here are processed lightly with an initial color adjustment.

He is equipped with two monitoring cameras to record various deployments. The JUICE 1 (JMC1) monitoring camera is located at the front of the spacecraft and faces up diagonally to the field of view that looks at the part of one of the solar arrays, and will eventually see the antennas deployed.

Meanwhile, the Juice 2 monitoring camera, or JMC2, is located aboard the spacecraft to monitor the installation of the RIME antenna.

The RIME antenna is folded and in a saved configuration to launch, and is ready to begin implementation in the next few days.

A more detailed picture will be captured by JUICE with a science camera called JANUS that will capture high-resolution images.

Jovis' instrument, Amorum ac Natorum Undique Scrutator (JANUS) will study Jupiter's atmosphere as well as ice moons, armed with different 13-filter wheels to detect certain chemical elements.

This tool will be able to capture images with a resolution of up to 8 feet on Ganymede and about 6 miles on Jupiter. This was quoted from Digital Trends, Tuesday, April 18.
