Applauded ground controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Lockheed Martin has extended a solar-powered Juno spacecraft spinning the news to Jupiter.
"Juno, welcome to Jupiter," said mission control commentator Jennifer Delavan of Lockheed Martin, who made Juno.
Killed cameras and other instruments of the spacecraft before its arrival, so that no photo of the moment of arrival at the destination. A few hours before the encounter, NASA released images taken last week, shows Jupiter glowing yellow in the distance, and surrounded by four months.
Promised the scientist close-up view of the planet will be cut to the Juno cloud during its 20-month, $ 1.1 billion mission.
The fifth rock from the sun and the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter is known as a gas giant - a ball of hydrogen and helium - unlike the rocky Earth and Mars.
Named after the wife of Jupiter in Roman mythology, Juno is the second mission designed to explore Jupiter after Galileo launched in 1989.
