Ever since growing up on that misconception that once you slingshot a rocket to space you'd be "floating away " to any place you please it was all a pipe dream when in reality Space travel depends so much how fast or slow you orbit every freaking planet on a expendable propulsion system that won't get you too far.
@40390576 For someone who cant even dig sarcasm and humor, you certainly think to much of yourself. Fortunately, however, that is your problem, not mine. Thanks for your detailed and revealing questions. lol
@40390576 Yes it is...It is the largest planet in the Galaxy thats why you can draw parallels with colonizing Amerika...even prehistoric africans spreading all over the world is no match for that. The planet was much smaller when that happened. It keeps growing. You must be a very intelligent little girl?
@40390576 What conclusion, i am saying that we can colonize the galaxy just like we did Amerika, isnt that an logical comparison becoz we have learnt to colonize the amerika now we can do it to the galaxy...
2016? I thought it happened in 1:07 seconds? This is bull shit, universe is such a small place and we are so much bigger, earth is the largest planet. The truth is its bigger than the sun. We can colonize the Universe just like we did Amerika which is much farther than the next galaxy.. We are mental case apes..
The Earth encounter will be a great test for all of the instruments & hopefully JUNOCAM will be used then too. Does anyone know if JUNO could make any asteroid encounters & JUNOCAM be used when JUNO crosses the Asteroid Belt? Anyway, this is an amazing mission & we will learn so much about the inner workings & structure of Jupiter .
@MrMercury3488 At present Juno is not expected to have close encounters with any asteroids in the main belt. Note that JunoCam has a very wide angle field of view, and was designed to take amazing images of Jupiter from very close to the planet. Even if we flew within a few million km of an asteroid, JunoCam isn't designed to take high-resolution images during such an encounter. But the Jupiter images are going to rock!
I don't understand how Juno will get to stay in Jupiter's orbit since it's getting closer and closer to it, won't it be sucked by the Jupiter's gravity pull? or they just use those moments before the satellite crashes to get scientific probes?
@cosminx2003 That's the amazing thing about being in orbit! If you're going fast enough, you fall *around* the planet instead of crashing into it. You go just fast enough that the planet's gravity can't quite pull you down. Here's a kind of fun lesson (admittedly aimed at a younger audience) from NASA SpacePlace: spaceplace.nasa.gov/how-orbits-work/
@NASAJuno That's what i meant, i cannot see in this video how Juno enters the orbit of Jupiter since the relative speed between them is zero (as seen at the end of the video). Does it have any back-up propulsion system so it can speed up when it gets close enough in order to get into the orbit?
@cosminx2003 Ah, but the relative speed between them is far from zero! As Juno approaches Jupiter, the planet's gravity pulls the spacecraft in faster and faster. We'll be traveling at ~60 km/second during orbit insertion. Juno fires its main engine for about 30 minutes to slow down just enough so the planet's gravity captures us into orbit. You might also like to check out our videos titled "Juno Jupiter orbit animation" and "Juno spacecraft Jupiter arrival animation" to see this in detail.
Hmm...it seems to me a bit of a long shot. I understand Orbital Mechanics and the solution of this trajectory....but there are many factors, which we cant calculate (or even worst...we don't know their existence). If Juno manages the 500km Flyby with the right speed and pitch/angle, the next step to reach Jupiter, will be easier....We will know soon enough..in about 2 years...(or in worst case in September 2012...). I hope the mates in NASA have foreseen some maneuvering power reserves...
They fire the burners at perigee to increase the energy and thus size of the planet. Burning burners at perigee saves a lot of fuel. Basically, what you are doing is extending the apogee when you fire at perigee and so reach jupiter. I love Orbital Mechanics :)
@benvd I already went to school for 9 years so I don't need to go longer. I already showed that I know how to send a ship to Jupiters better than NASA and those dudes probably went to school for like 13 years... Sorry hon.
@demonachizer I think I just LOL'd. I'm in grade 9 and I know that every inter-planetary space probe ever made uses the gravitational pull of the sun to sling them outwards and therefore travel in an eclipse. Please, I beg you to at least read some Wikipedia before commenting on a topic that you don't remotely know about. 9 years of school? I'll be surprised if 7 of those years aren't spent in summer school. What else have you learned in those years? That the solar system have 9 planets?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
These NASA jerks are so dumb. Look how much time they waste by going the scenic route. A straight line is the shortest distance between two points not some crazy loopy elliptic path.
When I need to go to the store to buy a TV dinner I don't drive from my trailer in MS to Texas then pass back by my trailer and then go to the convenience store down the road do I?
This is why we have no more money in the country because NASA stole our jobs.
@demonachizer.. This satellite is not going to wall-mart to buy you a TV dinner, its going to Jupiter. While it may take a long time it saves quite a bit of money as the weight needed to put it into space is limited to the booster rockets, the probe and all its instruments.
By using the Earth and Sun as a sling shot, all the Spacecraft has to do is move a bit to adjust its orbit and keep it stable. Please read more and comment less.
@benvd Ever hear of the little phrase "Time is money"? I want to see results today and if I paid taxes (I am unemployed now because they downsized the factory that I was a custodial specialist at) I would want to see results sooner than 5 years. What if all the weird looking dudes on Jupiter already left by the time SS Slowpoke gets there? Then all we will see is a bunch of gas.
@demonachizer You are the one that's dump bub. They are using NO fuel going this way. Say your hill billy truck only has 0.5 liters of fuel left and there's no gas station for miles. If you had a choice of using the suns gravity rather than spending $500 billion dollars more making a bigger rocket with more fuel just to fight the force of gravity.
@demonachizer google it, can see how self centered you are seeing the other 90% of the world uses metric rather than imperial. Should try learning it sometime, although I can guess you don't use measurements often so you continue on in your little world there.
@demonachizer "When I need to go to the store to buy a TV dinner I don't drive from my trailer in MS to Texas then pass back by my trailer and then go to the convenience store down the road do I?"
@demonachizer OK then genius, why don't you go ahead and tell us the amount of rocket fuel proportioned to the weight of the probe we will need.Now if you actually did do that, that's a a lot of fuel isn't it? Now, do you think they can make those fuel containers overnight? It will take a lot of time to do so. Now, once you have all of that, you have to make the equipment be able to hold a rocket that big, another time consuming project.So once you do all of that, you spend more money and time
@Odin7thor Well there is this free program called "Celestia" you can download, and play around with the known universe. As far as I know it's scientifically correct, so you can look at the planets' positions there.
@Odin7thor celestia do it very well. You can also choose date and time, move in the solar system and into the nearest known stars of the galaxy. It's under free licence, and you can also add space ship (real, like cassini/huygens , or fictionnal, like the milenium falcon or space base from 2001, a space odyssey).
@Odin7thor You should still get Celestia, it's cool. But I found exactly what you want:
"Eyes on the solar system" It's a Nasa program on their website. Just search the above on Google. It has pretty awesome User Interface. You get to watch Juno progress!
Rocket science at it's finest. Looks cool, but i can't imagine the equations behind all this.
