This week in 2011, the Juno mission to Jupiter launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center aboard an Atlas V-551 rocket. It entered the orbit of Jupiter on July 4, 2016. The primary goal of the mission is to investigate the planet’s formation and evolution through the observation – from an elliptical polar orbit – of Jupiter’s gravity and magnetic fields, and atmospheric dynamics and composition. Here, technicians in the Astrotech payload processing facility in Titusville, Florida, unfurl a solar panel that helps power the Juno spacecraft. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the mission, which is part of the New Frontiers program. The Planetary Missions Program Office at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center manages New Frontiers as part of the agency’s Science Mission Directorate. The NASA History Program is responsible for generating, disseminating, and preserving NASA’s remarkable history and providing a comprehensive understanding of the institutional, cultural, social, political, economic, technological, and scientific aspects of NASA’s activities in aeronautics and space.
