Jupiter, meet Juno

RE: Jupiter, meet Juno
Success, apparently.

Quote:“Welcome to jupiter”
“Welcome to jupiter,” a voice said over the radio at Nasa’s JPL, with scientists cheering, clapping and hugging each other.
The burn time was within one second of the predicted time, putting it in exactly the orbit it needed.
“You’re the best team ever! We just did the hardest thing Nasa has ever done,” shouted, principle investigator of the Juno mission, Scott Bolton.

Juno successfully enters orbit around Jupiter!
Cheers have erupted in the Nasa Jet Propulsion Laboratory control room as researchers hear a simple tone, revealing Juno’s main engine has switched off, and the spacecraft is in the planned orbit.
As far as we know now, Juno has completed one of the riskiest and most important parts of its very long mission!
Stay tuned for details and updates as they come in.
Now Juno will need to re-orient itself, so that it faces back towards the sun and collects the solar power it needs to continue on its mission.
