The Juno probe flying to Jupiter five years from August 2011, in early July of last year was close to a giant planet and came to a stable orbit around it. The first two months after convergence, the probe spent on the reduction of the orbit and the scientific instruments and the first scientific data were obtained only at the end of August.
Verification of all scientific instruments Juno and the transition to new, more convenient to conduct observations, the orbit was to be held in mid-October of 2016, however, just before beginning this maneuver, NASA engineers fixed a problem with the engine, which forced engineers to postpone its mission for the next conjunction with Jupiter. Later, Bolton and his colleagues refused such plans indefinitely and began to observe Jupiter with a “high” orbit.
