The JUNO mission will be the first polar orbiter at Jupiter. It was the first mission to be selected for the New Frontiers Program and will launch in 2011. The polar orbit will allow for the first detailed study of Jupiter's powerful aurora, as shown in the my artwork. There will be many discoveries regarding Jupiter's inner workings which are expected to tell scientists a great deal about how our solar system formed.

The JUNO spacecraft will be solar-powered.
