Juno in launch configuration. Juno is a NASA space probe orbiting the planet Jupiter.It was built by Lockheed Martin and is operated by NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.The spacecraft was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on August 5, 2011 UTC, as part of the New Frontiers program.

The gravity science experiment for Juno involves using communication hardware on Juno and Earth. Deep Space Network antenna shown here. The Juno gravity experiment makes use of spacecraft's antenna, which are used to send radio signals to Earth with precise timing. This allows the Doppler effect to be recorded, which in turn allows the ...
Juno Radiation Vault (the box being lowered onto the partially constructed spacecraft) in the process of being installed on Juno, 2010 Juno Radiation Vault is shown attached, but with the top open and some of the electronics boxes inside the vault can be seen The cube shaped JRV can be seen in between the un-wrapped main dish and the larger hexagonal main spacecraft body.
JIRAM JIRAM data on Jupiter's southern lights, August 2016 Jovian "Hotspot" in visible (top) and near infrared (bottom) from a previous mission. Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) is an instrument on the Juno spacecraft in orbit of the planet Jupiter. It is an image spectrometer and was contributed by Italy. [1]
The camera and the mission were not designed to study the moons of Jupiter. [12] JunoCam has a field of view that is too wide to resolve any detail in the Jovian moons except during close flybys. Jupiter itself may only appear to be 75 pixels across from JunoCam when Juno reaches the furthest point of its orbit around the planet. [3]
JADE-E and JADE-I are sensors that are spread out on the spacecraft, and the EBox is located inside the Juno Radiation Vault. [2] EBox stands for Electronics Box. [2] JADE-E is for detecting electrons from 0.1 to 100 keV, and there are three JADE-E sensors on Juno. [2] JADE-I is for detecting ions from 5 eV to 50 keV. [2]
Juno is a Jupiter exploration mission which launched on August 5, 2011, and arrived in July 2016. It is the first solar-powered spacecraft to explore an outer planet. It is the first solar-powered spacecraft to explore an outer planet.
On 15 August 1959, the next Juno II was flown, carrying the Beacon satellite. While first-stage performance was nominal, the upper stages malfunctioned. [6] [7] [10] One intended experiment on this mission was the ejection of four flares stowed in the interstage section, which would be tracked and photographed during the launch. However, things ...
