The ESA Juice (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) spacecraft is all set for a Venus gravity-assist flyby on Aug 31, one of the major steps on its long journey to Jupiter.
This follows a major anomaly and recovery of comms to the spacecraft, which was lost on Jul 16.
For several days. commands were sent to Juice, 11 light-minutes away, to reset its comms subsystem, until one succeeded. The root cause was traced to the age old logic problem - a timer counter rollover, sigh!
