The data Juno collects will contribute to the goals of the next generation of missions to the Jovian system-NASA’s Europa Clipper and the European Space Agency’s JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE). With the extension, Juno will make 42 additional orbits, including close passes of Jupiter’s north polar cyclones flybys of the moons Ganymede, Europa, and Io and the first extensive exploration of the faint rings encircling the planet. So, it is extremely exciting to be able to continue to follow Juno as it orbits in the Jovian system for another four years,” says William “Bill” Kurth, research scientist in Iowa’s Department of Physics and Astronomy and lead investigator for the Waves instrument.
