Jupiter Probe Undergoes Tests
"Lockheed Martin is in the last week of
thermal vacuum tests before shipping Juno, NASA’s solar-powered Jupiter spacecraft, to Cape Canaveral in early April for its scheduled Aug. 5 liftoff. Launch will be on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 551. Following Juno’s arrival at Jupiter in 2016, it will orbit the gas giant’s poles 33 times to investigate the planet’s origins, structure, atmosphere and magnetosphere."
