Abstract — Power for missions to Jupiter and beyond presents a challenging goal for photovoltaic power systems, but NASA missions including Juno and the upcoming Europa Clipper mission have shown that it is possible to operate solar arrays at Jupiter. This work analyzes photovoltaic technologies. . Technicians attach the five-panel solar arrays to NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday, Aug. This is why the mission was named after the Roman goddess, who was Jupiter's wife, and who could also see through clouds. Solar. . A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports. Since its arrival in 2016, Juno has revolutionized our understanding of the largest planet in our solar system—and it's not done yet. In 2025, the spacecraft continues. .
