Juno Europa Flyby
Europa Atlas V 551 | Juno
NASA’s Juno spacecraft will come within 358 kilometers (222 miles) of the surface of Jupiter’s ice-covered moon, Europa. The solar-powered spacecraft is expected to obtain some of the highest-resolution images ever taken of portions of Europa’s surface, as well as collect valuable data on the moon’s interior, surface composition, and ionosphere, along with its interaction with Jupiter’s magnetosphere.
