Io and Europa with Jupiter The primary observation target is Jupiter itself, although limited images of some of Jupiter's moons have been taken and more are intended. [ 5 ] JunoCam successfully returned detailed images of Ganymede after Juno's flyby on June 7, 2021, [ 6 ] with further opportunities including planned flybys of Europa on ...
Global image of Jupiter's moon Io acquired by Juno's JunoCam camera on 30 December 2023. The Juno spacecraft was launched in 2011 and entered orbit around Jupiter on July 5, 2016. Juno ' s mission is primarily focused on improving our understanding of Jupiter's interior, magnetic field, aurorae, and polar atmosphere. [88]
Io Volcano Observer (IVO) is a proposed low-cost mission to explore Jupiter's moon Io to understand tidal heating as a fundamental planetary process. [1] The main science goals are to understand (A) how and where tidal heat is generated inside Io, (B) how tidal heat is transported to the surface, and (C) how Io is evolving.
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.
English: This is the highest resolution image acquired by the Juno spacecraft's JunoCam instrument during the mission's flyby of Io on October 15, 2023. It was acquired from a distance of 11,680 kilometers and has a pixel scale of 3.9 kilometers per pixel (enlarged by 2x from the original 7.86 kilometers per pixel).
Hansen is a collaborator on the Juno mission, and she is responsible for the JunoCam, the first interplanetary outreach camera. [14] [15] [16] The camera has produced the first close-up images of Jupiter's polar region. [17] [18] It was also used to capture images of volcanic plumes on Io, one of Jupiter's moons.
