EXTENDED Begins NASA has extended the Juno mission to explore Jupiter through September 2025, expanding the science goals to include the overall Jovian system, including the planet and its rings and moons. In addition to continuing to explore the solar system’s largest planet, the planetary orbiter will rendezvous with three of the most intriguing Jovian moons.
Since its first orbit in 2016, Juno has rewritten the textbooks about the massive gas giant. The extended mission will answer fundamental questions that arose during Juno’s prime mission.
