AbstractJuno, the second mission within the New
Frontiers Program, is a Jupiter polar orbiter mission that
will return high-priority science data relevant to multiple
divisions within NASAs Science Mission Directorate.12
Juno is currently in system integration/test in Denver and
ships to Astrotech in Titusville, Florida in April 2011 to
conduct final checkout in preparation for integration with
the launch vehicle and subsequent launch in August 2011.
1. INTRODUCTION
The Juno Mission to Jupiter (Figure 1) will launch in
August 2011, perform two deep-space maneuvers
approximately 13 months after launch, perform an Earthgravity assist approximately 26 months after launch, and
achieve Jupiter orbit insertion (JOI) in 2016 after a five-year
journey (Figure 2). Junos scientific objectives remain
unchanged since the Juno baseline requirements were
established in 2008 (and covered in the 2009 paper) and to
meet these objectives, Juno is carrying nine instruments
with 29 instrument sensors distributed on the forward and
aft decks of the spacecraft. Eight of these are science
instruments and the ninth is a four-color camera being
flown for education/public outreach purposes. In addition to
the complexities involved in developing and delivering one
Education/Public Outreach (E/PO) and eight science
instruments, Juno is also the first solar powered mission to
Jupiter. To ensure that the mission will have adequate
power while in orbit around the gas giant, the team
completed extensive solar cell performance analysis, testing
and modeling to characterize the solar array performance
under low-intensity, low-temperature (LILT) conditions in
Jupiters radiation environment. Juno also completed
extensive analysis and test to quantify design changes
needed to allow both electronics and materials to perform as
required in Jupiters charged particle and magnetic field
environments. Some of the challenges involved in the above
are described later in this paper.

2. HISTORY
Juno was selected in May 2005 as the 2nd mission in
NASAs New Frontiers Program within NASAs Science
Mission Directorate (SMD). Juno was originally scheduled
for a June 2009 launch opportunity but was subsequently
slipped to a July 2010 launch (upon selection) and,
ultimately, an August 2011 launch (within the 1st year
following selection) due to factors not specifically related to
Juno itself. This resulted in an extended Phase B period
(almost 3 years) that allowed the project to dedicate much
more effort to requirements and preliminary design
maturation, as well as to focus on key risk reduction
activities. As a result, Juno had a very successful
Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and obtained
authorization from NASA Headquarters to proceed into
Phase C effective September 1, 2008.

7. CONCLUSION
The Juno mission has successfully progressed through the
critical design phase, has completed flight system
integration, and is preparing for system level acoustic and
thermal vacuum testing. In April 2011, Juno will ship from
the flight system integrator (Lockheed Martin-Denver) to
the Cape to complete final preparations for launch in
August 2011. The history of the project since the Project
PDR is briefly described including a list of spacecraft and
