It's amazing Juno will last a year bathed in the outer fringes of the radiation belts around Jupiter, despite the titanium armor bath tub around it's vital electronics. Charged particles will destroy the solar cells and the electronics over time, which is why after it's year long mission it will join Galileo as vaporized metal floating in Jupiter's atmosphere because it too will be commanded to dive into the atmosphere.
I am very excited for this mission. I love watching Jupiter.
