Juno Mission Trailer
NASA's Juno spacecraft is preparing to enter orbit around Jupiter. The mission's success depends on a complex series of operations to survive the unknown environment above Jupiter's cloud tops. If successful, Juno will pass closer to Jupiter than any previous spacecraft. It will then begin two years of science operations in a highly elliptical orbit.
