PS2.2 | Juno’s Exploration of the Gas Giant Jupiter and its Moons
Juno’s Exploration of the Gas Giant Jupiter and its Moons
Convener: Dustin Buccino | Co-conveners: Yasmina M Martos, Scott Bolton, Paul Hartogh, Francesca Zambon

Since arriving in orbit in 2016, Juno has dramatically increased our understanding of Jupiter’s atmosphere, magnetosphere, interior, and origin. Now in its extended mission since 2021, Juno continues to not only explore Jupiter, but has also transformed into a full system explorer of the Jovian system, conducting close and distant flybys of Io, Europa, and Ganymede along with observations of Jupiter’s ring system. As the extended mission continues, Juno’s orbit evolves unveil even more mysteries of the moons and the northern pole of the planet. Observational results from Juno, Earth-based supporting observations, modeling of Jupiter and its moons, and comparisons to other giant plant systems (including exoplanets) and moons are welcome.
