First, I received my Cassini Grand Finale stickers from the delightful ![[instagram.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/profile_icons/instagram.png)
marka_design. I put one of them on my 15th and final Cassini lab notebook, and I plan to put the other on my laptop and take a photo of it when I'm at the end-of-mission events next week.

There was a JUICE meeting at my institute this week. It was not for our instrument team, but for another that we work closely with. They convinced the project scientist to attend. He gave us an informative and exciting presentation, but most importantly, he brought a small stack of the very first official ESA mission stickers. I actually didn't snaffle one because I went off with my counterpart on the other team for an hour and a half splinter meeting. However, the PI from their team kindly saved us each a sticker.
The first official JUICE mission sticker, showing Jupiter, the Galilean moons and the JUICE spacecraft. This will go straight onto my new laptop when I receive it. It seems oddly fitting to be retiring one laptop and beginning to use another right at the end of the Cassini mission.

We got the grand finale pins this week. So gorgeous. Gone on to my work lanyard with my Curiosity, DSN, NASA and rainbow diversity pins.

Oooh, you got the pins! I guess we'll get them this week, but unfortunately I've arrived in LA quite ill so I won't find out until I attend the plenary sessions tomorrow.

I don't think I'd seen a full render of JUICE before - the solar panels are neat.

Earlier renditions of the spacecraft had standard straight solar panels but the Prime Contractor worked out pretty quickly that that would not be enough surface area to power it. So they designed the t-shaped ones you see there.
