After almost five years has finally come: the NASA probe Juno is successful in orbit around the planet Jupiter. That means party at NASA, because it was to be quite a risky surgery.
The main engine had to burn 35 minutes to speed up the probe to bring back 250,000 km per hour to 2000 kilometers per hour. That process has gone well, reports the NASA.
Composition of the atmosphere Juno will over the next 20 months 37 time around Jupiter rotate to continuously to study another part of the planet. NASA wants to learn more about the magnetic fields of Jupiter, the composition of the atmosphere and the core of the planet.
Goal is new knowledge about the origin of our solar system. Scientists believe that, given the large amount of gas that has accumulated, the planet Jupiter in the early days of the solar system.
Solar nebula The Jupiter's atmosphere would therefore partly match the solar nebula, a cloud of gas and dust that remained after the creation of the Sun. Juno must examine whether that assumption is correct.
The cost of the construction and the launch of the probe amounted to about 850 million euros.
