Europe is about to undertake one of its grandest ever space missions, to explore the icy moons of Jupiter.
The Juice satellite is going through final testing in Toulouse, France, after which it will be shipped to the launch site in South America. It's due to depart Earth in April.
The six-tonne spacecraft will make a series of flybys of Callisto, Ganymede and Europa, using an advanced package of instruments to investigate whether any of these worlds are habitable.
