› Read more The Juno mission to Jupiter combines experienced partners with exciting programs and products that will bring the mission to a diverse set of audiences. Highlights include:

Mission Juno website – A rich multimedia experience designed to share the story of Jupiter and the Juno mission with a wide public audience.

Explore: Jupiter's Family Secrets! – A set of informal education activities, adaptable to any afterschool environment. Designed by the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI), for the Explore! Library program.

Juno formal education curriculum (coming soon) – A comprehensive, Jupiter-centered curriculum for middle school students, with emphasis on the giant planet’s atmosphere, magnetosphere, interior and origins. Led by the Lewis Center for Educational Research (LCER).

JunoCam – JunoCam is Juno’s visible-light camera specifically designed to engage the public by providing dramatic, close-up color views of Jupiter. The public will be involved in processing the images from raw data and even helping the science team determine which areas of Jupiter should be imaged by the spacecraft.

Juno’s Education and Public Outreach program also partners with:

• The Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT) program. Students use a former NASA Deep Space Network antenna to do real science. The GAVRT program teams students with scientists to conduct cutting edge research, including monitoring Jupiter to support the Juno mission.
• The Giant Worlds museum exhibit program from Space Science Institute.
• Training and resources to benefit NASA Nationwide, a consortium of formal and informal education networks, which includes the Solar System Ambassadors program.
• SpaceMath@NASA, a resource for teachers that explores math concepts related to mission events and discoveries announced in recent NASA press releases. Since 2004, its math problems have been downloaded more than four million times.
