NASA’s spacecraft travels to the solar system’s most volcanic world

The spacecraft began a series of close flybys of one of Jupiter’s most famous moons.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft began the first of nine close flybys of Jupiter’s moon Io on Dec. 15. It is the most volcanic world in the solar system. CNN writes about it.

The device is located at a very close distance from the surface of the satellite – 1500 km. During the flyby, he will make detailed images of the surface of Jupiter’s moon. So experts are trying to learn more about the network of volcanoes and how their eruptions interact with the gas giant.

“These spacecraft instruments are designed to observe Jupiter, but they also do a good job of observing Io,” the scientists said.

Recall that earlier, as part of the School Space Experiments Program (SSEP), the American SpaceX Dragon spacecraft sent mini-laboratories of Ukrainian schoolchildren to the ISS.
