environment, anyway! this mission will give us close up views of three ofjupiter s moons. it will fly past europa, hoping to spot plumes of water erupting, and callisto, with its heavily cratered surface of ice and rock. finally, it will orbit around ganymede, the solar system s largest moon, where it will measure its icy crust, which could reach 100 miles that s 160 kilometres down and it will search for a liquid ocean underneath, which could be ten times deeper than. anything we have on earth. the pictures, the visible images are going to be absolutely incredible. so ganymede is covered in dark terrain and interesting impact craters, and a sort of footprint of the activity that would have taken place early on when it was formed. being in orbit around ganymede will produce imaging resolution of a few metres, so we re going to be able to see exquisite detail in those pictures. separationjuste confirmee.
the explorer took off from the european spaceport. it will take eight years to actually reach its destination. it will be examining three ofjupiter s moons to see if there are hidden oceans of water that contain microbial life form as well. an hour ago i spoke to professor ellie fletcher from mission control. he said it had been an emotional roller coaster over the last couple of days. an emotional roller-coaster over the last couple of days. last couple of days. yesterday s overwhelming last couple of days. yesterday s overwhelming disappointment l last couple of days. yesterday s i overwhelming disappointment we last couple of days. yesterday s - overwhelming disappointment we were delayed by lightning activity over at the launch site. and then today in those moments of watching the rocket launch are precious to spacecraft up into orbit, my heart was thumping. i thought i would need to have a lie down and so many moments since then, the separation from the spacecraft from the laun
