Nasa has Friday for the first interplanetary spacecraft launched on solar energy. Solar panels were not efficient lwa nt enough to be at a large distance from the sun to work, but now could.
The probe Juno is Friday, launched, made, Nasa known. The aim of Juno is to investigate Jupiter, the largest and oldest planet in our solar system. Juno will after Jupiter has reached 33 times around the poles of Jupiter to circulate to gain information about conditions on the gas giant. Juno explains to 2800 million kilometres to Jupiter to reach. The probe will be Saturday the orbit of the moon pass and will be about five years for Jupiter to arrive.
The spacecraft is the first interplanetary probe with solar panels that beyond Mars. Up until now, the technology of solar panels is not far enough developed to be at a large distance from the sun enough to generate energy. Now, however, that is the case. Satellites in orbit orbiting the Earth have been, for decades, solar panels for energy supply.
Juno collects information about temperature and humidity in the atmosphere of Jupiter. Also has to be explored how much of what gas is present. In addition, such things as magnetic fields measured. On the basis of that data is determined which theories about the planet right.
