Our Juice spacecraft returned to Earth to complete the world’s first Lunar-Earth gravity assist.

Flight controllers guided the spacecraft past the Moon and then the Earth, ‘braking’ the spacecraft.

This manoeuvre may seem counterintuitive but will allow Juice to take a shortcut via Venus on its way to Jupiter.
