Juno Mission – Unlocking the mysteries of Jupiter

The Juno spacecraft was inserted into a unique polar orbit around Jupiter in August 2016 and NASA has approved an update to Juno's operations until July 2021. Dr Lucyna Chudczer will review the objectives of the mission, its status and highlight its important results.
She will discuss the most detailed maps of the Jovian clouds and the radiometric measurements that probe the planetary weather systems to unprecedented depths. In addition, she will discuss our supporting observations from the ground telescopes, which allow us to study Jupiter's powerful auroral emissions and their connection with the Galilean moons.

Dr Lucyna Kedziora-Chudczer

completed her PhD on the radio variability of Active Galactic Nuclei at the University of Sydney in 1999.  In 2019 she accepted position of Program Manager at Astronomy Australia Limited.
