Let's look at a hypothetical mission to the
Jovian system in a specific classroom.
Together they will explore the entire
Jovian system," Curt Niebur, program scientist at NASA headquarters, said in the statement.
"What we've been seeing in the
Jovian system, with the exception of Callisto, is the importance of tides," says theorist David J.
This is not the only upcoming mission that aims to investigate the
Jovian system. NASA's (https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/nasa-mission-named-europa-clipper) Europa Clipper mission , which involves sending a spacecraft to carry out several flybys of Jupiter's moon Europa - the most promising place to look for life beyond Earth in our solar system - will be launched in the 2020s.

Jovian System II longitude 109[degrees], the most recent value provided by John W.
In tandem with the Galileo spacecraft's close-up exploration of the
Jovian system, it will also study emissions from the doughnut-shaped region of charged particles surrounding Jupiter and its moon Io.

Jovian System II longitude 104[degrees], the most recent value provided by John W.
In combination with the Jupiter observations, the solar studies may reveal how the sun's radiation alters the
Jovian system.
