The Juno ship first approached Jupiter since flying into orbit
According to the announcement of the US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), the Juno probe has for the first time approached Jupiter since its orbit into the planet in early July.
The Juno was ordered to cross the 4,200km of altitude above the tallest clouds of this giant planet on August 27.
The nearest train time to Jupiter is at 12:51 (GMT), when Juno ships at 208,000 km / h, flying from North to South through a multistage atmosphere.

So far, no spacecraft has come so close to Jupiter. Juno has turned on all video transceivers, including cameras when approaching Jupiter. NASA hopes the Juno train will be in a position to capture some images from the approach of the planet in the next few days. It will be the highest resolution images ever taken through Jupiter's clouds.
The Juno probe began flying into Jupiter's orbit on July 5, after 5 years of traveling 2.7 billion km from Earth.
Many explorers have taken Jupiter photos, but Juno will be the ship to capture the largest resolution photos.
NASA experts say this is the first opportunity to truly observe the solar system's largest star and begin to understand how it works. The on-board sensor will observe the giant planet across multiple layers and measure its composition, temperature, motion and other properties. Images and data sent to Earth will help experts discover whether Jupiter has a solid core or just a compressed gas in the densest state of the planet.
NASA control experts will let the Juno ship fly in a 53-day trajectory before restarting the ship's engine on October 19 to shorten the orbit time to 14 days. The ship will operate until February 2018 before being ordered to fall into Jupiter's atmosphere and self-destruct.
