NASA ship is about to approach super typhoon 16,000km wide on Jupiter

NASA's billion-dollar spacecraft will be approaching the big red dot, super typhoon sweeping through 350 years on Jupiter.

The Juno of the US Aeronautics Agency (NASA) will fly directly through the Great Red Spot , the famous storm of 16,000km in diameter on Jupiter on July 10, according to Phys.org. This will be the first close-up observation of humans for this giant storm.

The big red dot may have existed for more than 350 years and has been watched by scientists since 1830. "The mysterious big red dot on Jupiter may be the most famous feature of the planet," said Scott Bolton, scientist. The main study in the Juno project at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas, USA, said.

"The strange storm has swept the planet's largest planet for centuries. Now Juno and the cloud-based observations will come close to see how far the storm is, it works like how and what makes it so special, " Bolton said.

Collect data about the big red dot is a mission in the 6th to fly through Jupiter-covered clouds of the Juno ship. The ship will fly over perijove (positioned on orbit near the center of Jupiter) at 855 am on July 11. In this position, Juno will be about 3,540 km away from Jupiter's top cloud. After 11 minutes 33 seconds, Juno will pass 39.771km and be just above the red cloud covering the big Red Spot.

The ship will pass 9,000km above the clouds of the Great Red Spot. All 8 devices on board and JunoCam cameras were turned on during this flight.

"Success in collecting scientific data on Jupiter is a testament to the spirit of dedication, creativity and technology of the Juno team. Each new approach helps us get closer to the center of the radiation belt. Jupiter also avoided the electron storms around Jupiter better than we imagined, " said Rick Nybakken, Juno project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. share.

The $ 1.1 billion Juno spacecraft departs on August 5, 2011 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA. With the mission of discovery, Juno dived to the extreme near Mars's top cloud layer with a distance of 3,400km. In the past fly-bys, Juno explored beneath the cloud cover of Jupiter and studied aurora to learn more about the origin, structure, atmosphere and from the planetary book.

Preliminary results from the Juno mission help NASA scientists identify the largest planet of the solar system as a chaotic world with complex internal structures, ultraviolet aurora and polar storms in the polar regions.
