JUICE
Live position
This mission operates in deep space — beyond the regime where SGP4 and CelesTrak TLEs apply. Real-time positioning needs NASA's JPL Horizons system, which isn't wired up yet. We track ISS, Tiangong, Hubble, and Chandra in low/high Earth orbit instead.
About this mission
ESA's flagship mission to Jupiter, bound for orbital insertion in 2031. Will perform 35 close flybys of Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto before settling into orbit around Ganymede in 2034 — the first spacecraft to orbit a moon of another planet.
This mission has been operating for 1,110 days (3.0 years) — and it's still going.

Galileo
Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de' Galilei, commonly referred to as Galileo Galilei, was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath. He was born in the city of Pisa, then part of the Duchy of Florence. Galileo has been called the father of observational astronomy, modern-era classical physics, the scientific method, and modern science.
