SETI Live: MISSION JUNO: Catching Up with a Gas Giant

The Juno spacecraft launched on August 5, 2011, and arrived at Jupiter in 2016, where the mission began collecting data on the gas giant. In January 2021, NASA announced that the spacecraft's mission had been extended to September 2025. The extended mission’s science campaigns expand on discoveries Juno has already made about Jupiter’s interior structure, internal magnetic field, atmosphere (including polar cyclones, deep atmosphere, and auroras), and magnetosphere. Juno’s extended mission also includes flybys of the moons Ganymede, Europa, and Io.

Join Dr. Scott Bolton, Director of the Space Science and Engineering Division at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and Principal Investigator of Juno, as he chats with communications specialist Beth Johnson about this important mission, what we have learned, and what comes next.

Good afternoon, Mr. Scott is one of the best PI in NASA. Also unforgettable his remaks during the introduction of Mythodea NASA mission to Mars with Vangelis music. Well, some things are internal for sure. Real friendships.
