Juno would go on to enter Jupiter's orbit in July 2016. [3] The magnetosphere blocks the charged particles of the solar wind, with the number of solar wind particles Juno encountered dropping 100-fold when it entered the Jovian magnetosphere. [3] Before Juno entered it, it was encountering about 16 solar wind particles per cubic inch of space. [3]
Although Juno I's launch of the Explorer 1 satellite was a huge success for the U.S. space program, only two of its remaining five flights were successful, Explorer 3 and Explorer 4, [1] giving the Juno I vehicle a mission total success ratio of 50%. [4] The Juno I vehicle was replaced by the Juno II in 1959.
