Juno To Jupiter Project Report

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) was an experience that is unique. Seeing the space shuttle and learning of the many initiatives that are currently taking place was overwhelming and exciting at the same time. A specific mission that NASA has been working on is the mission to Juno to Jupiter. The specifics were to understand the solar system and the evolution of Jupiter. The purpose of this long operation was to use technology to determine how much water encompasses Jupiter’s atmosphere. The project connects to several different factors learned in class primarily science and technology factors. The science of learning the composition of other planets also provides a better understanding of the uniqueness of earth. The Juno mission is using technology to Jupiter’s water atmosphere, allowing scientist to establish if the planet formation theory is accurate or if new theories are mandated. The science associated with space travel is designed to look deeper into Jupiter’s atmosphere in an effort to measure cloud motions, composition, temperature, and properties. It also measures gravity and magnetic fields that show the planet’s deep structure. Another priority is to study and explore Jupiter’s

NASA is an early Pioneer spacecraft, and the design allows for the spacecraft to be easy to control and makes its pointing even more stable. Before the solar arrays being deployed after the launch, Juno will continue rotating by the rocket motors while the second-stage rocket booster is still attached. While the spacecraft is in Jupiter’s orbit, the spinning spacecraft will sweep the fields of view from the instruments it uses in space once for each rotation. The Juno will use three rotations per minute, the field of view from the instrument will sweep across Jupiter at around 400 times in the estimated two hours it takes to fly from pole to
