''Juno'' is the second spacecraft to orbit Jupiter, after the RTG-powered ''Galileo'' orbiter, which orbited from 1995 to 2003. Unlike all earlier spacecraft sent to the outer Solar System and beyond—which used radioisotope thermoelectric generators for power—''Juno'' is powered by solar panels, more commonly used by satellites orbiting Earth and working in the inner Solar System.<ref name="JunoMission"/> Accordingly, ''Juno'' required the three largest solar panel wings ever deployed on a planetary probe (at the time of launching). These play an integral role in stabilizing the spacecraft as well as generating power.<ref name="Juno Solar Cells">{{cite web|url=https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/juno/launch/Juno_solarpower.html|title=Juno's Solar Cells Ready to Light Up Jupiter Mission|publisher=NASA|date=July 15, 2011|access-date=April 26, 2020|archive-date=April 26, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200426125453/https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/juno/launch/Juno_solarpower.html}} {{PD-notice}}</ref>

During the science mission, infrared and microwave instruments will measure the thermal radiation emanating from deep within Jupiter's atmosphere. These observations will complement previous studies of its composition by assessing the abundance and distribution of water, and therefore oxygen. This data will provide insight into Jupiter's origins. ''Juno'' will also investigate the convection that drives natural circulation patterns in Jupiter's atmosphere. Other instruments aboard ''Juno'' will gather data about its gravitational field and polar magnetosphere. The ''Juno'' mission was planned to conclude in February 2018 after completing 37 orbits of Jupiter, but now has been commissioned through 2025 to do a further 42 additional orbits of Jupiter as well as close flybys of Ganymede, Europa and Io.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Carter |first=Jamie |title=Self-Destruction Of $1.4 Billion Spacecraft At Jupiter Scrubbed By NASA As It Returns More Stunning Images |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2021/02/23/suicide-of-14-billion-spacecraft-at-jupiter-scrubbed-by-nasa-as-it-returns-more-jaw-dropping-images/ |access-date=November 11, 2022 |website=Forbes |language=en}}</ref> The probe was then intended to be deorbited and burnt up in Jupiter's outer atmosphere<ref name="NYT-20160705"/><ref name="NASA-20150921"/> to avoid any possibility of impact and biological contamination of one of its moons.<ref name=Profile/>

=== Flight trajectory === thumb|Juno awaiting its launch in 2011

==== Launch ==== ''Juno'' was launched atop an Atlas V (551 configuration) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Florida on August 5, 2011, 16:25:00 UTC. The Atlas V (AV-029) used a Russian-built RD-180 main engine, powered by kerosene and liquid oxygen. The main engine ignited and underwent checkout then, 3.8 seconds later, the five strap-on solid rocket boosters (SRBs) ignited. Following the SRB burnout, about 93 seconds into the flight, two of the spent boosters fell away from the vehicle, followed 1.5 seconds later by the remaining three. When heating levels had dropped below predetermined limits, the payload fairing that protected ''Juno'' during launch and transit through the thickest part of the atmosphere separated, about 3 minutes 24 seconds into the flight. The Atlas V main engine cut off 4 minutes 26 seconds after liftoff. Sixteen seconds later, the Centaur second stage ignited, and it burned for about 6 minutes, putting the satellite into an initial parking orbit.<ref name=spaceflightnow>{{cite news|url=http://www.spaceflightnow.com/atlas/av029/ascenttimeline.html|title=Atlas/Juno launch timeline|publisher=Spaceflight Now|date=July 28, 2011|access-date=July 29, 2011|archive-date=March 17, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210317175304/https://spaceflightnow.com/atlas/av029/ascenttimeline.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The vehicle coasted for about 30 minutes, and then the Centaur was reignited for a second firing of 9 minutes, placing the spacecraft on an Earth escape trajectory in a heliocentric orbit.<ref name="spaceflightnow" />

Prior to separation, the Centaur stage used onboard reaction engines to spin ''Juno'' up to 1.4 r.p.m. About 54 minutes after launch, the spacecraft separated from the Centaur and began to extend its solar panels.<ref name=spaceflightnow/> Following the full deployment and locking of the solar panels, ''Juno''{{'s}} batteries began to recharge.

These gravity variations drive small probe velocity changes. The purpose of radio science is to detect the Doppler effect on radio broadcasts issued by ''Juno'' toward Earth in Ka-band and X-band, which are frequency ranges that can conduct the study with fewer disruptions related to the solar wind or Jupiter's ionosphere.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://juno.wisc.edu/spacecraft_instruments_GSE.html|title=Instruments: Gravity Science Experiment|date=October 23, 2008|first1=John|last1=Anderson |first2=Anthony|last2=Mittskus|publisher=University of Wisconsin–Madison|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160204211538/http://juno.wisc.edu/spacecraft_instruments_GSE.html|archive-date=February 4, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://missionjuno.swri.edu/#/spacecraft/junospacecraft?ins=0|title=Juno spacecraft GS|access-date=December 31, 2015|publisher=University of Wisconsin–Madison|archive-date=August 21, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150821050111/http://missionjuno.swri.edu/#/spacecraft/junospacecraft?ins=0|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Dodge">{{cite web|last1=Dodge|first1=R.|last2=Boyles|first2=M.

Due to telecommunications constraints, ''Juno'' will only be able to return about 40 megabytes of JunoCam data during each 11-day orbital period, limiting the number of images that are captured and transmitted during each orbit to somewhere between 10 and 100 depending on the compression level used.<ref name="planetary">{{cite web|url=http://planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2011/3133.html|title=Junocam will get us great global shots down onto Jupiter's poles|access-date=July 6, 2016|archive-date=January 23, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130123112605/http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2011/3133.html|url-status=live}}</ref>{{Update inline|date=February 2019|reason=Juno is still performing 53-day orbits and will probably continue doing that until end of mission}} The overall amount of data downlinked on each orbit is significantly higher and used for the mission's scientific instruments; JunoCam is intended for public outreach and is thus secondary to the science data.

The spacecraft also carries three Lego minifigures representing Galileo Galilei, the Roman god Jupiter, and his sister and wife, the goddess Juno. In Roman mythology, Jupiter drew a veil of clouds around himself to hide his mischief. Juno was able to peer through the clouds and reveal Jupiter's true nature.

In 2021, analysis of the frequency of interplanetary dust impacts (primarily on the backs of the solar panels), as Juno passed between Earth and the asteroid belt, indicated that this dust, which causes the Zodiacal light, comes from Mars, rather than from comets or asteroids that come from the outer solar system, as was previously thought.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shekhtman |first=Lonnie |date=March 9, 2021 |title=Serendipitous Juno Detections Shatter Ideas About Origin of Zodiacal Light |url=https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/serendipitous-juno-detections-shatter-ideas-about-origin-of-zodiacal-light |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210318004153/https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/serendipitous-juno-detections-shatter-ideas-about-origin-of-zodiacal-light |archive-date=March 18, 2021 |access-date=March 19, 2021 |website=Jet Propulsion Laboratory |publisher=NASA}}</ref>

Juno made many discoveries that are challenging existing theories about Jupiter's formation. When Juno flew over the poles of Jupiter it imaged clusters of stable cyclones that exist at the poles.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NASA's Juno Navigators Enable Jupiter Cyclone Discovery |url=https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-juno-navigators-enable-jupiter-cyclone-discovery |access-date=May 14, 2022 |website=NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) |language=en-US}}</ref> It found that the magnetosphere of Jupiter is uneven and chaotic. Using its Microwave Radiometer, Juno found that the red and white bands that can be seen on Jupiter extend hundreds of kilometers into the Jovian atmosphere, yet the interior of Jupiter is not evenly mixed. This has resulted in the theory that Jupiter does not have a solid core as previously thought, but a "fuzzy" core made of pieces of rock and metallic hydrogen. This peculiar core may be a result of a collision that happened early on in Jupiter's formation.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Crockett |first=Christopher |date=June 8, 2020 |title=What has the Juno spacecraft taught us about Jupiter? |url=https://astronomy.com/news/2020/06/jupiter-revealed |access-date=May 14, 2022 |website=Astronomy.com |language=en}}</ref>

In April 2020, ''Juno'' detected a meteor impact on Jupiter, with estimated mass of 250–5000 kg.<ref>{{cite web |title=Meteor in Jupiter's atmosphere, observed by Juno UVS |url=https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/science-findings/meteor-in-jupiter-s-atmosphere-observed-by-juno-uvs |website=Mission Juno |access-date=17 August 2023 |language=en}}</ref>

Results from ''Juno'' on storms suggests that they are far taller than expected, with some extending 60 miles (100 kilometers) below the cloud tops and others, including the Great Red Spot, extending over 200 miles (350 kilometers). With ''Juno'' traveling low over Jupiter's cloud deck at about 130,000 mph (209,000 kph) Juno scientists were able to measure velocity changes as small as 0.01 millimeter per second using a NASA's Deep Space Network tracking antenna, from a distance of more than 400 million miles (650 million kilometers). This enabled the team to constrain the depth of the Great Red Spot to about 300 miles (500 kilometers) below the cloud tops. The new results show that the cyclones are warmer on top, with lower atmospheric densities, while they are colder at the bottom, with higher densities. Anticyclones, which rotate in the opposite direction, are colder at the top but warmer at the bottom.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Margetta |first1=Robert |title=NASA's Juno: Science Results Offer First 3D View of Jupiter Atmosphere |url=https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-s-juno-science-results-offer-first-3d-view-of-jupiter-atmosphere |website=NASA |access-date=17 August 2023 |date=28 October 2021}} {{PD-notice}}</ref>
