The Juno mission to Jupiter is one of the most ambitious, daring
and challenging solar system exploration missions ever conceived.
Next to the Sun, Jupiter is the largest object in our solar system.
As such, it is both a record and driver of the formation and
evolution of the planets -- no other object in our solar system can
tell us more about the origin of planetary systems. Understanding
the details of giant planet formation, structure, composition and
powerful magnetospheric environment required a new perspective
close up and over the poles of Jupiter -- an orbit never before
attempted. Juno was specifically designed for this challenge,
entering into the harshest planetary environment known in the solar
system. This volume describes the mission design, scientific
strategies and instrument payload that enable Juno to peer deep
into Jupiter's atmosphere and reveal the fundamental process of the
formation and early evolution of our solar system. In these papers,
the Juno instrument teams describe their investigations, which
include gravity radio science, microwave radiometers,
magnetometers, an infrared imager auroral mapper, an ultraviolet
imager and spectrograph, a visible light imager known as JunoCam,
low and high energy particle detectors and plasma wave and radio
electromagnetic sensors. The articles also describe a radiation
monitoring experiment and the extensive laboratory measurements
undertaken to assist with the analysis and interpretation of Juno's
pioneering investigation of Jupiter's deep atmosphere. Originally
published in Space Science Reviews, Volume 213, Issue 1-4, November
2017
