Juno is a NASA New Frontiers mission currently orbiting the planet Jupiter. Juno was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on August 5, 2011 and arrived on July 5, 2016. 

Speed on orbit: 0.17 km/sMax speed: 38,000 km/hLaunch date: August 5, 2011Orbit height: 4,300 kmManufacturer:  Lockheed MartinCost: 1.1 billion USD (2011)

NASA says it has received a signal from 540 million miles across the solar system, confirming its Juno spacecraft has successfully started orbiting Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system.

"Welcome to Jupiter!" flashed on screens at mission control at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, California.

"This is phenomenal," said Geoff Yoder, acting administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate.

Engine burn complete and orbit obtained. I'm ready to unlock all your secrets, #Jupiter. Deal with it.

All rays on me. My solar panels now face the sun. I'm the farthest solar-powered spacecraft from Earth. #Jupiter

"We're there, we're in orbit. We conquered Jupiter."

"Through tones Juno sang to us and it was a song of perfection," said Rick Nybakken, Juno Project Manager, referring to the audio signal the probe sent to indicate it was in orbit.

Juno was launched nearly five years ago on a mission to study Jupiter's composition and evolution. It's the first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter since Galileo. Galileo was deliberately crashed into Jupiter on September 21, 2003, to protect one of its discoveries -- a possible ocean beneath Jupiter's moon Europa.
