The Juno spacecraft has responded to Moc Tinh

On the morning of July 5, the scientific world had a new remarkable achievement: the successful Juno spacecraft entered Moc Tinh's orbit to help scientists have a clearer view of the planet.

At 10: 18 am on July 5, Juno performed the most important part of the journey, burning the main engine to reduce the speed to about 2,000 km / h. The reason Juno had to slow down to this level to be absorbed by Jupiter's gravity and "fall" into the orbit of the planet.

This main engine combustion process lasts 35 minutes. After achieving the desired speed, Juno only had 1.2 seconds to get into a certain range of only 10km wide. If these two conditions are not met, the worst thing will come to Juno. This spacecraft is running out of energy and dies.

Under such strict conditions, Juno also had to "wriggle" through a "minefield" that is extremely strong radiation around Moc Tinh. These radiation points can damage all equipment installed on the ship.

At 10:56, Juno officially "responded" to Moc Tinh's orbit.

Juno is a NASA product invested and this task is worth $ 1 billion. Juno uses solar power, originating from Florida in 2011 and has flown in space for the past five years, "swallowing" the 2.8 billion km road.

If Juno does not enter the orbit of Jupiter, the surface of the spacecraft's energy receiving surface will not be able to turn towards the sun and thus run out of energy and die.

Video clips of scientists at NASA are happy when Juno "answers" him to Moc Tinh.

Once in Moc Tinh's orbit, the Juno will fly around 37 times, 4,700km from the planet's surface. Juno's mission is to capture high-tech images, measuring gravity and magnetic forces at the planet.

From Earth, Moc Tinh has stripes, created by the east-west storms. Scientists also hope Juno will help better understand the storms on Moc Tinh.

The trace of oxygen in Moc Tinh, the element in the water component, is also what scientists want to know. Once you know the amount of water on Jupiter, it will determine the time and location of the planet's formation in the solar system. From that, I understand more about the solar system.

As soon as entering Jupiter's atmosphere, Juno will fly around the planet in an elliptical orbit for 53 days. Later, Juno will burn one more engine, to get closer to Jupiter, and it takes only 14 days to fly around the planet in an orbit smaller than the original. At this point, it has just begun to perform scientific tasks.

Another thing interested scientists in Jupiter is the Great Red Point - thought to be an eternal storm - lies at the extreme of the planet. Scientist Scott Bolton said the mystery is why this storm was so long ago that it is hundreds of years old.

It is expected that August 27 is the first day Juno captures close-up images of Jupiter to send it to Earth. On the same day, NASA will activate all scientific equipment on Juno to get data from Jupiter.

The main body of Juno has a diameter of 3.5m and a length of 3.5m but the wingspan is up to 20m for the purpose of receiving solar energy. It is expected that Juno's camera will be damaged before Juno finishes the mission in early 2018 when it drops into Moc Tinh. Moc Tinh is the largest planet in the solar system, with a diameter of 139,822km, equal to 1/10 of the sun and 11 times larger than the earth. Moc Tinh has a total of 7 moon "moons". The largest moon of Jupiter is called Ganymede, with a diameter of 5.264km, bigger than Glass.

The structure of Moc Tinh is mainly hydrogen and helium with a very small core, 300 times heavier than the earth. Jupiter has a structure more similar to a star than a planet. Outside Jupiter is a layer of hydrogen gas, followed by a heavy hydrogen liquid and then a core.

In Moc Tinh, one day is only 10 hours long and one year on Moc Tinh equals 12 years on earth.

From Earth, Jupiter can be seen by sight and if you use a telescope, you can see the largest moon of this planet.
