To date, all their activities are concentrated at the beginning of momentum, “Juno”, in which will be found exclusive information and features.

If all goes according to plan, Jupiter’s gravity will capture the designed device, directing it to the first of the two revolutions, which must end on the 27th of August this year.

It was then that probe will approach its goal more closely. The researchers – inventors are madly waiting for this moment, they have already called it a “turning point”. Astronomers agree that it is really significant for the study of the cosmic giant.
