Juno Jupiter Mission Report

736 Words3 Pages

Juno is a NASA space mission which will last 6 ½ years and aims to improve our understanding of the solar system's beginnings by revealing the origin and evolution of Jupiter. Juno is a NASA space probe (figure 1) orbiting the planet Jupiter, since entering its orbit on July 5th, 2016, the prelude to 20 months of exploration. Juno will orbit Jupiter 37 times and come within 4,200 Kilometres of the planets top clouds . Juno was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base on August 5, 2011, as part of The New Frontiers Program, a series of space exploration missions being conducted by NASA with the purpose of revealing more about the Solar System . Specifically, Juno will be used to determine if and how much water is in Jupiter’s atmosphere, measure composition, temperature and cloud …show more content…

A spectrometer operates by taking in light from a source, breaking it up into its components based on wavelength and turning it into a digital signal for analysis. In order to measure the magnetisation, strength and direction of magnetic fields on Jupiter, A vector magnetometer (MAG) is used and calculated by using the Pythagorean Theorem . The Juno orbiter uses radio waves to determine and locate gravity fields by using a gravity/radio science system (Gravity Science), by observing the Doppler shift . The Doppler Effect can be described as the effect of moving waves in which there is an upward shift in frequency as the source of the sound approaches, but a downward shift in frequency as the source recedes . In order to understand interactions between the magnetic fields, magnetosphere (the region surrounding an astronomical body in which its magnetic field is the predominant effective magnetic field), and atmosphere, a radio and plasma waves sensor (WAVES) is used. This occurs by measuring electric and magnetic fields as well as the radio waves. These

At first, the magnetic field sensor was plugged into analog A. Next; a magnetic field sensor was open in the Database Studio software by following several instructions. Once the magnetic fields sensor was free, we clicked on the “digits” that was on the lower left side of the screen. Then, the window appeared where it was ready to record the magnetic field. After the computer part was completely set up, we measured the diameter of the Helmholtz coil several times to get the more accurate measurement and recorded the measurement in the data. Later, we set up our device in a way that current flows in the same direction for all the coil.

This contains unique frequencies ( measured in terahertz), which geologists use to find what minerals are present within a rock, as different elements have unique frequencies. For example, gold with a depth of 23 nanometres ( a millionth of a meter) will

It will take the Ultrasound waves and change them into an electrical signal which we can see during the Ultrasound or on the sonogram. When the soundwave reflects off of the structure in the body, the wave will reflect towards the Transducer. When the Ultrasound wave reflects off of the object, the altitude changes. The greater change in altitude, the clearer the sonogram will be. When the wave hits the structure, and the altitude changes, the wave will reflect back.

Through the use of magnetrons, radars could be more efficient and effective at detecting objects from further away. Invented by Harry Boot and John Randall, such technology worked by using electron tubes that could produce very high-intensity radio waves under certain conditions, and special holes called “cavities” controlled the wavelength of a given magnetron. The manipulation of magnetic fields of a plate connected to the filament in the electron tubes gave the user control over the amount of current reaching the plate and creating the aforementioned radio waves. The first working cavity magnetron was demonstrated on February 21, 1940, when it produced over 400 watts of power at an extremely short wavelength, which was over 100 times more power than any other radar available at the time. It could detect a submarine periscope from 6 miles away.

Scientists are counting on the Philae lander to help them gather information about our wondrous solar system. The Philae lander is a probe, sent to outer space to gather information about comets. Scientists also think they might be able to learn more about the origins of our solar system and how it evolved. The Philae mission was important for scientific research because the Rosetta probe stepped in when the Philae lander couldn’t do it and the scientists will risk a lot to learn so much more about comets.

The common methods are aerial methods and on-site methods. Aerial methods are surveyed from aircrafts. There are different methods such as magnetic survey, gravity survey and electromagnetic survey. Magnetic surveys conduct an instrument called the magnetometer which can detect changes in the magnetic field. Another method is Gravity surveys which detects changes in the earth’s gravitational pull by using gravimeters.

The Wow of the Wow Signal Josh Hyatt Mr. Humpartzoomian SES4U 9 November 2014 On the date August 15, 1977, Earth was the recipient of one of the greatest scientific mysteries ever presented. Ohio State University had a radio observatory known as the Big Ear, listening to the sky for whatever radio transmissions could be detected from black holes, quasars, or whatever other deep space objects that emitted radio frequencies. It was on this date where the most unique radio signal ever received from space was detected.

Astronomers use the terms "red shifted" and "blue shifted" to describe how light changes as an object moves closer to or away from an observer. The Doppler effect affects light waves the same way it affects sound waves. As an object in space moves farther away from the observer, the light it gives off is shifted to the red end of the visible light spectrum because its wavelengths are longer due to the doppler effect. If an object moves closer to the observer, the light it gives off is shifted to the blue end of the visible light spectrum because its wavelengths are shorter. Astronomers have been able to use this to measure the expansion of the universe.

When the actual test was put into motion, a number of unexpected and bizarre side effects occurred. As the electromagnetic field increased in strength, it began to extend as far as 100 yards out from the ship in all directions, forming a large sphere. Within this field, the ship became fuzzy and indistinct, and a greenish haze formed around the vessel, obscuring it from view. Eventually, the only visible object was the outline of the hull of the Eldridge where it entered the water. Then, to the amazement of onlookers, the entire ship vanished from view.

For many years, it has been believed and scientifically proven that only the planet Earth can sustain life. And without it, we’ll no longer have a place to call home. However, with the Earth’s drastic condition - climate change, greenhouse gases, depletion of the ozone layer, and etc.- the astronomers have been searching for a planet that can save us from the ultimate fate of the Earth- and to also prove that we are not alone. Thus, after long years of research, we have found Kepler-452b. Here is a gist of what has been discovered about Kepler-452b:
