I just Googled ‘why isn’t there a NASA satellite on jupiter’ and just found out that NASA launched the Juno spacecraft in 2011 for Jupiter.

It’s going to orbit and beam back hi res pics in just 9 weeks time! I’m so amazed :cool:

I actually made a simple project with the Juno spacecraft in UE4 :smiley:

It was just for learning matinee and post processing and stuff^^

Anyways I can’t wait to see what we will see when Juno enters the orbit.

Galileo started orbiting Jupiter in 1995, and that mission ended in 2003 - so Juno isn’t the first either :wink:
