Jupiter Polar Orbiter (Juno) Icon

Jupiter Polar Orbiter (Juno)

The Juno mission is proceeding toward launch in August 2011. Upon arrival at Jupiter in 2016, Juno will conduct the first in-depth study of the giant planet. The spacecraft will spend about one year in a polar orbit around Jupiter to investigate the existence of an ice-rock core; determine the global amount of water and ammonia in the atmosphere; study convection and deep winds in the atmosphere; investigate the origin of the Jovian magnetic field; and explore the polar magnetosphere.
