JUICE will spend three-and-a-half years examining Jupiter's atmosphere, magnetosphere, set of rings and it will study the large icy moons Ganymede, Europa and Callisto, which are thought to have oceans of liquid water beneath their frozen crusts – perhaps even harboring habitable environments. The mission will culminate in an eight-month tour around Ganymede and end with the probe's planned impact on the moon's surface in 2034.

JUICE will communicate with Earth using technology from OHB subsidiary Antwerp Space

Antwerp Space, a subsidiary of technology and space group OHB SE, has carried out development of the Communication Subsystem for JUICE.
