The £1.4bn Juice probe will investigate the giant gas planet and its three large ocean-bearing moons.
WATCH: Jupiter's biggest moons moons - Callisto, Ganymede, Europa and Io - orbit the planet
The European Space Agency project team behind Juice held a major review this week and concluded the mission was "go for launch".The manufacturer has pulled in expertise and components from all across the continent.
"You can see all these instruments underneath protective, transparent covers. The high-resolution visible telescope, which is called Janus, will take fantastic pictures very close to the moons because we will do flybys at just 400km altitude. They will be stunning shots," the Airbus Juice project manager said.
Juice won't be searching for specific "biomarkers"; it won't be trying to detect alien fish in the deep oceans. Its job is to learn more about the possibilities for habitability that future missions could then investigate in more detail. Scientists have long pondered the idea of putting landers on one of Jupiter's icy moons to drill through its crust to the water below.You need patience to work in the outer Solar System.
Instead, it will send Juice on a rather circuitous route that will use the gravity of Venus and Earth to slingshot the probe out to the gas giant.
