According to a statement from ESA, in order to progressively increase the velocity required to reach Jupiter by mid-2031, ...

When it comes to the question of which planet humanity could one day call home, the obvious choice might seem to be Mars. But ...

"JUICE will use the gravity of Venus this week to bend its orbit around the sun and gain speed relative to Earth without using fuel," ESA wrote in the Aug. 25 statement. "JUICE will use the Earth ...

The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) is on track for its gravity-assist flyby at Venus on 31 August ...

The European Space Agency's (ESA) JUICE spacecraft launched atop an Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana in April 2023. The ...

ESA engineers worked through the night to troubleshoot an ill-fated software bug that jeopardized the mission.

A new study reveals fresh signs of geological activity on Venus — clues that the planet's mysterious surface is still changing today.

A new study of Venus suggests that the deeply inhospitable world may be more like Earth than we thought. A new delve into archival data collected decades ago suggests that the alien planet has ...

This was all set up by a gravity-assist flyby of Venus. To do so, NASA had to calculate the exact path that would see the probe lining up with Venus. The previous speed record accomplished by the ...

Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus's surface may reveal that the planet has ongoing tectonics, according to new research based on data gathered more than 30 years ago by NASA's Magellan mission.

Things may be moving on Venus’ surface. In 1983, researchers discovered that the planet’s surface was speckled with strange, circular landforms. These rounded mountain belts, known as coronae ...

The spacecraft has used gravity assists from Venus, where the probe essentially swings itself around the planet, to get increasingly closer to the sun.
