The Ariane 5 rocket was launched from the ESA's spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana as scheduled.
The Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) project aims to send a satellite on an eight-year journey to reach the icy moons of the gas giant.
The spacecraft will use a gravitational sling-shot technique around Earth and Venus to give it enough energy to reach Jupiter.
The probe worth 1.6 billion Euros, could tell us whether Jupiter's major moons - Ganymede, Callisto and Europa- have the conditions to support simple life.
