  • Juno Spacecraft Jupiter Mission
    NASA is prepared to launch a mission to Jupiter this week that will probe deep into the planet's clouds to reveal what it is made of. TheJuno spacecraft will also make history by being the most distant space probe to use solar panels as its primary source of electricity. The decision charts a new course for deep space missions that traditionally used a radioactive battery, and it stands to prove the viability of solar technology even when the sun is 5 times further away than it is from our home planet....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/nasas-juno-spaceship-to-jupiter-will-make-the-most-distant-use-of-solar-power-ever/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
