Default 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."
