Juno launched on Aug. 5, 2011, from Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, and arrived in orbit around Jupiter on
July 4, 2016. In its current exploration mission, Juno soars low over the
planet's cloud tops, as close as about 2,100 miles (3,400 kilometers). During
these flybys, Juno probes beneath the obscuring cloud cover of Jupiter and
studies its auroras to learn more about the planet's origins, structure,
atmosphere and magnetosphere.
