1 lis 2017 · Juno is a PI-led mission to Jupiter, the second mission in NASA’s New Frontiers Program. The 3625-kg spacecraft spins at 2 rpm and is powered by three 9-meter-long solar arrays that provide...
NASA’s Juno mission will allow us to examine this gas giant planet from its innermost core to the outer reaches of its enormous magnetic force field. During its mission, Juno will map Jupiter’s gravity and magnetic fields to learn what the planet’s interior structure is like.
30 wrz 2015 · NASA’s Juno mission will allow us to examine this gas giant planet from its innermost core to the outer reaches of its enormous magnetic force field.
On August 5, 2011, NASA’s Juno spacecraft embarked on a 5-year journey to our solar system’s largest planet — the gas giant Jupiter. Its mission: to probe beneath the planet’s dense clouds and answer questions about the origin and evolution of Jupiter, our solar system, and giant planets in general across the cosmos.
Introduction: The Juno mission is the second mis-sion in NASA’s New Frontiers program. Launched in August 2011, Juno arrives at Jupiter in 2016 for a one year prime mission. Juno science goals include the study of Jupiter’s origin, interior structure, deep at-mosphere, aurora and magnetosphere. Juno’s orbit
Juno is a solar powered, spinning spacecraft during science operations (2 rpm), traversing much of the jovian magnetosphere in an elliptical polar orbit designed to minimize exposure to Jupiter’s hazardous radiation environment.
On July 5, 2016, between 03:18 and 03:53 UTC Earth-received time, an insertion burn lasting 2,102 seconds decelerated Juno by 542 m/s and changed its trajectory from a hyperbolic (fly-by) orbit to an elliptical, polar Jovian orbit with a period of about 53.5 days.
