Air traffic was at an all-time low. By 2024\, air traffic and flight delays had reached pre-pandemic levels\, prompting numerous complaints from airlines. Why is air traffic control unable to overcome bottlenecks\, despite 20 years of Single European Sky reform? What reforms could help improve the overall performance of Europe’s air traffic management system? \n \n\n \n [image] \n \n © Chicago Times\n \n\n\n Free admission (subject to availability)\n \n\n \n In partnership with: URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/controle-du-trafic-aerien-en-europe-la-veritable-tempete/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/02-25-@Chicago-Times-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250206T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250206T170000 DTSTAMP:20260430T102503 CREATED:20240703T134450Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240703T135122Z UID:76644-1738832400-1738861200@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:Agile knowledge transfer: what methods for such an ambition? DESCRIPTION:After the success of the first symposium held at the Air Museum in Le Bourget in January 2024: “The transport of tomorrow\, which engineers for such ambitions?”\, the organizers are very pleased to invite you to a second edition: \n\n AGILE KNOWLEDGE TRANSMISSION: WHAT METHODS FOR SUCH AN AMBITION?\n \nWe look forward to seeing you at the Air and Space Museum in Le Bourget on February 6\, 2025. (Event in French language only) Save this date on your calendar and let your friends and colleagues know: students\, teachers\, researchers\, industrialists\, HR\, etc. They are all concerned\, regardless of the sector of their industry. \nThis event will thus constitute: “The 2nd KETT symposium at Le Bourget” \nIt will allow us to continue to deal with multiple themes around “Knowledge\, Expertise\, Training and Transmission”\, subjects that are essential for the future of our industries and the involvement of the younger generations arriving in their professional lives. \nMany questions will be addressed: what should be kept (successes and failures)? What media should be used (man and/or machine)? What will be the effects of AI? How can we dialogue between generations? How can we optimize exchanges between engineers\, technicians and journeymen? … not to mention the initial training which constitutes the first transmission of knowledge; Is it agile? \nMoments of exchange will allow the expression of the points of view of the representatives of the various generations\, of the multiple functions involved in this chain of transmission and for various industries.

However\, there are many mysteries surrounding these two letters AI. According to some\, they will change our lives; for others\, they should be viewed with great caution. Whatever the case\, this new “tool” must be integrated into our training\, and young people have clearly highlighted some of the advantages of using it: getting AI to do their homework! All very well\, but is it effective for their training? \nTeachers responsible for training the next generation must adapt to this tool by changing their pedagogical approaches to take advantage of it\, while making clear the risks of using it without a strong critical eye for the answers provided. The introduction of AI into companies is leading to complementary actions for Lifelong Learning (LLL). Our two experts will discuss these two stages of training. \nAfternoon lectures: \n\n“The use of AI in initial studies: speeding up the transition to make it progress” by Laurent SIMON\, Professor Bordeaux INP\, Chair holder IA Digne de Confiance\, Director of the ENSEIRB-MATMECA computer science department.\n“AI in the enterprise: from information to training” by Juliette MATTIOLI\, Expert Fellow in AI\, Thales\n\n\n\n Free admission in the limit of available seats.\n \n\n or to follow live on the Youtube channel of the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/lia-et-la-formation-de-luniversite-au-monde-professionnel/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/artificial-intelligence-6767502_1280-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250128T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250128T193000 DTSTAMP:20260430T102503 CREATED:20241009T120444Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250106T131005Z UID:77142-1738087200-1738092600@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:Will we reach for the stars? DESCRIPTION:Conference as part of the “Scroll!” 2025 Festival organized by Toulouse Metropole.\n \n\n By Roland Lehoucq\, astrophysicist at CEA Saclay\n \n\n Space travel is a favorite theme in science fiction. Some films\, like Star Wars or Star Trek\, feature fabulous spaceships that take you from planet to planet like a bus. Others\, like Avatar\, show more plausible spaceships. They all make us dream\, even if we know that interstellar travel is a long way off. So what’s basically stopping us from traveling to the stars? \n \n\n After the conference\, Roland Lehoucq will be available for book signings. The Librairie de la Renaissance will be present at the entrance to the conference\, selling Roland Lehoucq’s books. \n \n[image] © Adobe stock (generated by AI) \n\n\n \n Free admission (subject to availability)\n \n \n\n \n In partnership with: URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/reaching-the-stars/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/01-28-@image-generee-par-IA-scaled-1.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20241206T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20241206T190000 DTSTAMP:20260430T102503 CREATED:20241119T095640Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241204T155753Z UID:77457-1733477400-1733511600@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:Formal sitting 2024 DESCRIPTION:Public session – Pierre Baudis Congress Centre (Cassiopeia hall)\n \n\n\n 09:30 – Reception speech\n \n\nDidier FUSSEN\, Doctor of Science\, former head of the “Solar Radiation” department at Belgium’s Royal Institute for Space Aeronomy\, full member of Section 1\, elected June 15\, 2023\, on :\n\n\n “Between the two infinities\, Science as Pascalian entertainment”.\n \n\n 09:50 – Introducing the new Correspondents\n \n\nPhilippe AYOUN\, Arnaud de ROSNAY\, Frédéric EYCHENNE\, Serge FLAMENBAUM\, FOSSIER Pierre\, Jean-Charles FOUCRIER\, Chantal FUALDES\, Marc GATTI\, Marc GUINOT\, Rémi JOUTY\, Monique LEGRAND-LARROCHE\, Antony LICU and Stéphanie LIZY-DESTREZ\n\n\n 10:30 – Break\n \n\n 10:40 – Presentation of the Correspondents (continued)\n \n\nWinfried LOHMILLER\, Robert MADELIN\, Géraldine NAJA\, Howard NYE\, Xavier PASCO\, Philippe PHAM\, Étienne RACHOU\, Lucien RAPP\, Markus RAPP\, Francis ROCARD\, Benoît ROTURIER\, Vittorio SELMIN\, Gilles SURDON et Luc TYTGAT\n\n\n 11:30 – Presentation of the Academy medal\n \n\nMartine SEGUR\, Academy Director from 1997 to 2024\n\n\n 11:45 – End of session\n \n \nFormal sitting – Hôtel de Ville (Salle des Illustres)\n\n\n 14:00 – Opening of the session \n \n\n 14:05 – Presentation of the new Board\n \n\n 14:15 – Welcome and introduction of new members \n \n\nHonorary members: Raymond BENJAMIN\, Vincent CAPO CANELLAS and Stéphane DEMILLY\nFellow members: Antoine BOUVIER\, Luc DENEUFCHATEL\, Michel FIAT\, Yves GOURINAT\, Bernard MARCK\, David Mc MILLAN\, André PREUMONT and Farid ZIZI\n\n\n 15:15 – Break\n \n\n 15:30 pm – Conference\n \n\nby Francis ROCARD\, Astrophysicist\, Head of solar system exploration programs at CNES\, Academy Correspondent\, on\n\n\n \n “What’s new in Solar System exploration?

DESCRIPTION:Conference organized by 3AF Midi-Pyrénées in partnership with the Académie de l’air et de l’espace and in collaboration with the Aérothèque.\n \n \n\n Presented by Guy DESTARAC\, head of the 3AF Midi-Pyrénées heritage working group\n \n\n This talk will retrace the genesis of the program in the context of the times: air transport was engaged in the race for speed\, and competition between American\, European and Russian manufacturers was in full swing. During its development\, the changed global context made it difficult to implement\, following the disappearance of competitors and the emergence of more stringent requirements. Nevertheless\, it was operated for 25 years\, mainly between Paris\, London and New York. We’ll be talking about the next steps envisaged by its manufacturers in the 1990s\, and about recent work to develop more economical aircraft\, more acceptable in terms of supersonic flight\, and within the framework of low-carbon aviation. But will society always accept that considerable resources should be spent for the benefit of a few\, however wealthy they may be? \n \n\n\n Free admission (subject to availability).\n \n \nIn partnership with \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n[image] ©3AF MP URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/concorde-marquera-t-il-lapogee-du-transport-aerien-comme-moyen-de-deplacement-rapide/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/conf-concorde-3af.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20241126T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20241126T193000 DTSTAMP:20260430T102503 CREATED:20241118T102939Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241121T152247Z UID:77414-1732644000-1732649400@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:Human-Systems Integration: A discussion of artificial intelligence DESCRIPTION:By Prof. Guy André Boy\, FlexTech Chair\, ESTIA & CentraleSupélec (Paris Saclay University)\, AAE member \nWe now live in a digital and virtual world in which we seek ever closer proximity to reality. Artificial intelligence (AI) has invaded our lives\, and the relationship between humans and AI should be further explored from the point of view of human-systems integration\, and more particularly when we use models to assess their representativeness of the real both physically and in terms of understanding the laws that govern their interactions. \nWe’re talking more and more about autonomous machines. How can technologies help solve problems in unexpected situations? The concept of autonomy requires further examination\, particularly with regard to questions of overall situational understanding\, decision-making and risk-taking. The integration of human beings into systems with increasing autonomy raises new issues such as trust\, collaboration and multi-agent performance. We address these issues. \nTo what extent should the machine be considered a tool or a partner? Examples will be taken from aeronautics and other industrial sectors. \n\n\n Free admission in the limit of available seats.\n \n\n In partnership with:\n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n [image] © Pixabay URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/integration-humains-systemes-une-discussion-autour-de-lintelligence-artificielle/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/AdobeStock_652003478-scaled.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20241126T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20241126T193000 DTSTAMP:20260430T102503 CREATED:20240102T110107Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241118T083503Z UID:74932-1732644000-1732649400@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:[ Postponed] The challenges facing European airports in 2050 DESCRIPTION:[Lecture postponed to a later date].\n \nBy Franck Goldnadel\, President of Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur \nThe greening of aviation is often talked about by manufacturers and airlines\, but less so by hospitality structures\, which also have serious challenges to face. These include the airport’s technical resources\, the preparation of refuelling with new fuels\, some of which are difficult to transfer\, and the fair scheduling of flights during the day.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has set a target of “net zero” CO2 emissions by 2050. The European Union also recently set a target of climate neutrality by replacing kerosene with sustainable\, CO2-neutral fuels by 2050. The entire industry has become aware of the role it must play in meeting the climate challenge\, with the aim of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. The use of sustainable fuels and carbon capture and storage are some of the measures to reach that goal. However\, the quantities of decarbonised electricity required for air transport are likely to be insufficient to meet the considerable energy needs of European society. \n \n\n\nProgramme\n\n\nOpening address by Dr. Gustavo Alonso\, Director ETSIAE\nThe AIr and Space Academy by Dr. Antonio Viñolo\, AAE Honorary Member.\nIntroduction of the speaker\nDecarbonising Air Transport: a question of energy by Mr. Michel Wachenheim\, AAE President.\nQuestions and answers\nClosure of the conference by Dr. Gustavo Alonso\, Director ETSIAE\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nIn partnership with\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith the support URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/decarbonising-air-transport-a-question-of-energy/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture,Partnership ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/visuelAvis.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20241009T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20241009T210000 DTSTAMP:20260430T102503 CREATED:20241007T060344Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241007T060344Z UID:77133-1728500400-1728507600@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:Ariane's thread The epic of European launchers: milestones and prospects DESCRIPTION:As part of the “Rendez-vous Espace” 2024 lecture series organized by the Association des Amis de la Cité de l’espace in partnership with the Cité de l’espace\, the Académie de l’air et de l’espace and 3AF. \nLecture (in french) by Michel EYMARD\, former Technical Director of the Safran group\, former Director of Launchers at CNES and member of the Académie de l’air et de l’espace. \nAriane 6 successfully completed its first launch on July 9.

How are solar winds and thunderstorms created? To answer these major questions in astrophysics\, the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter space probes set out in 2018 and 2020 to discover the environment close to the Sun: the solar corona. After several years of observations\, they have highlighted\, very close to the Sun\, an extremely dynamic environment constantly disturbed by ejections of material and thus provide new clues to the formation of solar winds and storms. \n \n\nFree admission in the limit of available seats. \nIn partnership with: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[image] ©Ascendance URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/in-the-solar-furnace-latest-results-of-solar-orbiter-and-parker-solar-probe/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/solar.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240918T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240918T170000 DTSTAMP:20260430T102503 CREATED:20240619T060522Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240903T142802Z UID:76323-1726669800-1726678800@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:Flight tests: the reception crew DESCRIPTION:The job of test pilot is a “small job”. There must be fewer than a hundred active test pilots in France. Some work for the state\, within DGA EV\, others for manufacturers: Airbus\, Dassault\, Daher. \nOf course\, it is a question of trying prototypes that have never flown\, but also derived\, modified or new configurations. But a test pilot also has other important tasks\, such as defining the systems\, in conjunction with the design offices. In practice\, he always has a team and the main pair is the INE: Engineer Navigant d’Essais. The role of this pair is to understand\, explain and translate into technical terms the elements felt in flight during the tests and to contribute\, during discussions with the program engineers of the design office\, to find the right technical solution\, to test it in flight\, etc. The test pilot is responsible for important customer relations or promotion to potential future customers. \nAfternoon of conferences with: \n\n\nRotary wing tester : X3\, Racer\, …presented by Dominique FOURNIER\, Flight Test Engineer\, Airbus Helicopters \n\n30 years of flight tests on both military and civil aircraftpresented by Yves KERHERVÉformer Dassault Aviation test pilot\, AAE member\n\n\nFree admission in the limit of available seats. \nor to follow live on the Youtube channel of the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/les-navigants-de-la-reception/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Image1-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240912T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240912T193000 DTSTAMP:20260430T102503 CREATED:20240202T152435Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240712T133032Z UID:75576-1726164000-1726169400@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuels): potential and limitations of a key solution for the decarbonisation of aviation DESCRIPTION:By Nicolas Jeuland\, Emeritus Expert on the Environmental Impact of Aviation and Future Fuels\, Safran\, AAE correspondent (lecture in french) \nThe aviation industry is committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. To achieve this\, the aviation industry is working on 3 main levers: the constant improvement of the fleet’s energy efficiency\, in particular through the development of ultra-efficient aircraft\, the optimization of operations (in flight\, but also on the ground) and the substitution of fossil fuels by low-carbon solutions. In the latter category\, SAFs (Sustainable Aviation Fuels) or CADs (Sustainable Aviation Fuels) have a crucial role to play as they enable an immediate decarbonisation of existing and future fleets. This conference aims to take stock of these fuels (types\, resources used\, production processes). In particular\, the development will be discussed\, highlighting the potential of these sectors\, but also their limits (availability of the resource\, cost). Finally\, the mechanisms to support the development of these sectors will be discussed. \n\n [Crédit image] ©Safran\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free registration required before September 11\, 2024\n \n \n \n\n Registrations are closed. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Conference organized as part of the National Engineering Days 2024 (JNI)\n \n \n\n \n In partnership with:\n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n AQUI-IHEDN is associated with this series of conferences\n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n New publication!\n \n \n\n \n \n Avis N°20 : Vers un transport aérien décarboné\n \n \n \nLe transport aérien est mondial : il a permis un incroyable essor des relations entre les peuples.

The current model\, in which Arianespace is the sole user of the space base\, has fizzled out and the CSG\, like an airport hosting several airlines\, will open its doors to new launch operators from the New Space sphere. \nAlso challenged by the emergence of many competing spaceport projects in Europe\, its modernization and competitiveness are more than ever existential questions requiring a large-scale renovation that we will describe at this conference. \n\n\n Free admission in the limit of available seats.\n \n\n In partnership with:\n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n [image] ©CNES URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/the-guiana-space-centre-opens-wide-the-door-to-outer-space/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/04-23-©-D.R.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240326T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240326T193000 DTSTAMP:20260430T102503 CREATED:20231221T160108Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240219T103756Z UID:74841-1711476000-1711481400@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:How Airbus overtook Boeing thanks to the success of the A320 Family DESCRIPTION:By Georges Ville\, 60 years with Airbus\, former President of the AAE \nAirbus Industrie became interested in the single-aisle market in 1981 and in 1984 launched the A320 family equipped with CFM56 engines with the support of Air France. Technological innovations and visionary choices in the definition of the aircraft are helping to anticipate its development towards the A320 neo; Boeing will try to follow suit\, not without risk\, with the 737 Max. Airbus caught up with Boeing in 1999 and overtook it in 2019. The speaker will recall this winning strategy and the lessons for future generations. \n\nConference organized as part of the National Engineering Days 2024 (JNI) \n\n Free admission (subject to availability).\n \n\n In partnership with:\n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n [image] © AIRBUS – Computer Graphic by i3m URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/how-airbus-overtook-boeing-thanks-to-the-success-of-the-a320-family/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/03-26-©-AIRBUS-–-Computer-Graphic-by-i3m.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240227T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240227T193000 DTSTAMP:20260430T102503 CREATED:20231208T084953Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240219T103932Z UID:74728-1709056800-1709062200@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:Mankind in Search of Its Origins in the Age of the James Webb Space Telescope DESCRIPTION:By Sylvie Vauclair\, astrophysicist\, professor emeritus\, member of the AAE \nSince the dawn of humanity\, human beings have sought to understand the world in which they live and to situate themselves in relation to it. Science and technology have led to spectacular advances that have challenged old ideas and changed humanity’s self-image of the cosmos. After all the discoveries made by the Hubble Space Telescope\, the JWST is a new stepping stone in this search for our origins. \n\n\n Free admission (subject to availability).\n \nConference organized as part of the National Engineering Days 2024 (JNI) \n\n In partnership with:\n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n[image] © NASA\, ESA\, CSA URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/mankind-in-search-of-its-origins-in-the-age-of-the-james-webb-space-telescope/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/webb.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240130T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20240130T193000 DTSTAMP:20260430T102503 CREATED:20231208T083324Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240129T125845Z UID:74721-1706637600-1706643000@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:GEIPAN studies UAPs/UFOs DESCRIPTION:By Vincent Costes\, head of GEIPAN at CNES with the participation of Francine Cordier\, GEIPAN investigator \nGEIPAN studies aerospace observations\, unexplained phenomena observed in the sky\, that have been reported to it since 1977 (46 years). This is one of the many missions of the CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales). It’s a very original mission. GEIPAN strives to elucidate the strange\, sometimes unusual or spectacular phenomena that are witnessed on French territory. The explanations are rational. The approach is scientific. It’s science\, it’s CNES in direct contact with and at the service of the population. Vincent COSTES will present the mission and the network organization of this organization. It will show the diversity of the phenomena explained and the interest of the work carried out by GEIPAN. A new phenomenon has just been added to the range of GEIPAN phenomena. This is a very original and little-known phenomenon. It will be presented on this occasion. \n\n\n Free admission (subject to availability).\n \n\n In partnership with:\n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n[image] © CNES-GEIPAN URL:https://academieairespace.com/event/geipan-studies-uaps-ufos/?lang=en CATEGORIES:AAE public and free,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://academieairespace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/01-30-©CNES-Geipan-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20231128T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20231128T193000 DTSTAMP:20260430T102503 CREATED:20230112T085320Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230112T091734Z UID:70556-1701194400-1701199800@academieairespace.com SUMMARY:Exploring Jupiter and its icy moons: the JUICE mission DESCRIPTION:By Cyril CAVEL \, JUICE Project Manager\, Airbus Defence and Space and Olivier WITASSE\, JUICE Project Scientist\, European Space Agency \nJUICE\, a major project of the European Space Agency\, is a satellite built by Airbus Defense & Space that is scheduled to take off in 2023 and join Jupiter in 2031.
