Juice, for Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, will explore Jupiter’s complex environment in depth after an eight-year journey. Follow all the action and learn more about the mission in this special programme co-produced by ESA and Arianespace.
Lift-off happened at about 13:14 bst and our presenters were live all the way until confirmation of the deployment of the spacecraft’s solar arrays.
