JUICE probe successfully exits Earth-Moon gravity assist

These images are real, they are from the flyby of the JUICE ship, an exploration probe of the icy moons of Jupiter, this ship is from the European space agency and passed using the force of gravity, the gravitational push of the Earth and the Moon, it is The first time this type of flight is done, using the Earth and the Moon at the same time, it takes advantage not only of the Earth's gravity but also of the moon, and now it is heading to Venus, all of this is to achieve speed, save fuel and be able to travel to Jupiter, specifically the icy moons of Jupiter that are your goal to study.

The approach to the moon was on August 19, and after 24 hours it passed close to the Earth at about 6840 km above Southeast Asia in the Pacific for that boost it needs to travel now Venus and then propel itself and then to Jupiter, during this flyby the scientific instruments, cameras, etc. were also tested to see that everything worked correctly.

Thanks to gravitational assistance, it is the great tool to save fuel. We saved about 200 kilos of fuel. 200 kilos of fuel may not seem like much, but of course putting 200 kilos in space is a lot of money. To this we have to add everything up. which will also be able to be saved with the push or gravitational assistance of Venus.
