ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, Juice, is set to embark on an eight-year cruise to Jupiter starting April 2023. The mission will investigate the emergence of habitable worlds around gas giants and the Jupiter system as an archetype for the numerous giant planets now known to orbit other stars. (source)

Anyone watching?=

Scrub, risk of lightning. They'll try again tomorrow.

The launch window lasts till the 25th of April. If they miss it, I'm not sure if they get another one any time soon. They're doing an Earth-Venus-Earth-Earth gravity assist to Jupiter, not sure that they happen that often.

So even if they miss the 13th, they'll want to recycle quickly.

Still on track for launch on April 13
