& gt; & gt; What can we learn Jupiter on the formation of the Earth?
This live is now complete. The press conference ended, it is time to close this live and resume normal activity. Thank you for following us this historic scientific moment. We left with the reaction of technicians from NASA when the confirmation of the orbiting Juno probe reached Earth
7:36: “All the images of the mission will be made public”
It will just be patient because of the constraints techniques, slides Scott Bolton. At the current distance of Juno, any radio signal takes 48 minutes to reach the Earth.
7:32: “the biggest constraint of this mission, it is the radiation,” said Scott Bolton
to protect themselves from these radiations, Juno is equipped with a solid armor of 172 kg titanium around its electronic equipment and instruments, a trip computer and electric wiring.
7:24: the story of “exploration” of Jupiter
7:19: “We will have a first glimpse of Jupiter in late August”
The following orbit press conference continues. Scott Bolton, the scientist in charge of the mission at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio (Texas) gives appointment in a few weeks.
7:09: Live on Ustream Debriefing
selected Works: “We conquered Jupiter …” “We still have a long night ahead us … “
7:00: the mission of the Juno probe in figures
- 1.7 billion kilometers
- Already 59 months in
- 3.6 tonnes technology
- a mission to $ 1.1 billion
- current Distance from Earth: 869 million km
6:53: Juno managed its turnaround, announced NASA
the probe is in its initial orbit 53 5 days around Jupiter. It must place from October next in an orbit of 14 days will graze him successively the two poles of the planet hidden under a thick cover layer.
6:43: NASA is still awaiting news of Juno whether she was able to return to face the Sun
And the world is listening least vital sign sensor
6:39: While that time, research on Ellen Page exploding on Google …
6:36: storming of the mysteries of “the profound composition of Jupiter”
During the ten-month mission, Juno probe will perform a series of measures to “deep composition of Jupiter,” says Philippe Louarn, CNRS researcher at the astrophysics research Institute and planetary science. “This will allow to know what exactly the components that Jupiter beyond those that we already know, namely hydrogen and helium.” The internal structure of the gas giant planets remains unknown. “We do not know the different layers of materials, it is not known if they have a rocky heart or not,” illustrates Philippe Louarn
6:30: An Application of NASA to monitor internal operations
” Eyes on Juno “can follow the mission of the indoor interactive view
6:22: hundreds kilos of equipment and … Lego
Juno carries three Lego aluminum statuettes that represent Jupiter, king of the gods in Roman mythology, Juno, his wife and his sister, and Galileo, the Italian scientist who discovered the four large moons of Jupiter.
6:19: the probe left Earth Aug. 5, 2011
Almost five years, an eternity for technology:
to protect strong radiation, Juno is equipped with a solid titanium armor that surrounds its electronic equipment and instruments, a trip computer and electric wiring. Weighing 172 kilos, this vault will reduce exposure to radiation -l’équivalent one million radiology at the dentist – 800 times compared to the unprotected part
6:15: Juno will she manage to turn around to face the Sun
New? tense moment for scientists, which should be fixed in a few minutes
6:10. This is a mission of 18 months starts for Juno
3.6 tonnes probe powered by solar energy must perform a series of 37 flybys of Jupiter during this mission a year and a half, most of which between 10,000 and 4667 km above the clouds of the giant planet.
6:07: A doodle to celebrate the event
Google pays tribute to Juno on its homepage with applause, party favors and jumps for joy:
6:05: What can we learn Jupiter on the formation of the Earth ?
the Juno mission: report crucial information about the atmosphere and the composition of Jupiter that will help scientists better understand the formation of the solar system. Our explanation here
6:02. “Welcome to Jupiter”
6:00: Applause wildly in the control center
The mission of science is not yet complete. “We definitely know if it’s a success when Juno will be returned to point its three large solar antennas towards the sun” which it depends for its energy, either at 6.30am French time, said Scott Bolton, chief scientist of the mission Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio (Texas)
5:56. The Juno probe has managed its implementation orbiting Jupiter
5:55: The ship started its main engine
the operation began on schedule at 5:18 French time Tuesday (11:18 p.m. Monday Washington time) for a maneuver that should last 35 minutes, said the controllers mission at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California
5:53. A historic moment place 869 million kilometers from home
Juno, which will attempt to enter orbit around Jupiter, initiated the maneuver by turning its main engine to brake his race, said NASA
