Juno is an orbiter spacecraft.
It will for the first time, see below Jupiter’s dense cover of clouds. This is why the mission was named after the Roman goddess, who was Jupiter’s wife, and who could also see through clouds.
Juno made one flyby of Earth to receive a boost from our planet's gravity that allowed the spacecraft to reach the planet Jupiter.
After a five-year journey, Juno is estimated to have covered 2.8 billion kilometers on its way to Jupiter.
It currently exploring the Jovian system, studying its composition, gravity, magnetic field, and other characteristics, while navigating the dangerous radiation in Jupiter's extensive magnetic field.
Juno has provided breathtaking images and made breakthrough discoveries about Jupiter and its moons.
Sincere thanks to all those who processed these magnificent images!

Before exploring the images captured by the Juno spacecraft, it's beneficial to grasp a basic understanding of Jupiter. As the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter is renowned for its unique characteristics. Take a moment and please read through.
The first probe to ever peer beneath the gas giant's thick cloud cover. Witness swirling storms, vibrant colors, and otherworldly landscapes you never knew existed.
Pioneer 10 and 11 and Voyager 1 and 2 were the first to fly by Jupiter in the 1970s, and since then we’ve sent Galileo to orbit the gas giant and drop a probe into its atmosphere. Cassini took detailed photos of Jupiter on its way to neighboring Saturn, as did New Horizons on its quest for Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. And then Juno, Next is Europa Clipper.
Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) is a spacecraft that will study Jupiter and its moons. The spacecraft was launched on April 14, 2023, expected to arrive at Jupiter in July 2031 and ultimately enter orbit around Ganymede in December 2034 for a more in-depth investigation.
