Juno:
Goals: NASA's Juno Mission will study how Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, formed and became the dynamic world we see today. The solar-powered spacecraft will map the gravity field, magnetic field and atmospheric structure of Jupiter from a unique polar orbit. Juno's observations will lead to a better understanding of the formation of our solar system and planetary systems discovered around other stars.

Accomplishments: This mission is in development.
