The various antennas, probes and booms are now fully deployed on the ESA Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft, 6 weeks after launch.
This week, the 4 Langmuir Probes and 3 antennas of the Radio & Plasma Wave Investigation (RPWI) were successfully deployed.
Most instruments have been checked out, including the JANUS camera/imager which took a sequence of 7 test images of a star field centered around eta Cyg in the Cygnus constellation.

The JANUS camera onboard the JUICE spacecraft is certainly more capable than Juno's JunoCam in terms of detector size, aperture size and resolution; it is comparable to the imager on Galileo in resolution. See table below.
JANUS = Jovis, Amorum ac Natorum Undique Scrutator, Latin for "comprehensive observation of Jupiter, his love affairs and descendants." 😀
