By Jove: NASA Says Juno Craft Is Orbiting Jupiter Enlarge this image toggle caption NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS Updated 1:40 a.m. ET with Juno orbit maneuver After a nearly five-year journey, NASA's solar-powered Juno spacecraft achieved orbit around Jupiter on Monday night. "It's a milestone for planetary science," NASA Director of Planetary Science Jim Green said at a news conference before the successful maneuver, adding that the Juno mission should provide far more data than has been gleaned from fly-by trips past the gas giant. In a maneuver that will begin tonight, Juno will approach Jupiter from high over the planet's north pole, said Rick Nybakken, Juno's project manager from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
