Arrival of the spacecraft prompted shouts of joy at Nasa’s jet propulsion lab, where scientists had been watching Juno’s progress with bated breath After a five-year voyage across 1.8bn miles (2.8bn km), Nasa’s Juno spacecraft has reached Jupiter and successfully entered its orbit. Braveving inetense radiation and a field of space rocks, the probe inched into the orbit of the largest planet in the solar system at 03.18 GMT. The manoeuvre was extremely complex, with the craft first having to slow down and then turn off its engines to enter Jupiter’s orbit at exactly the right moment. Juno’s success prompted joy at Nasa’s jet propulsion laboratory, where team members had been watching the probe’s progress with bated breath. “Juno, welcome to Jupiter,” said mission control commentator Jennifer Delavan of Lockheed Martin, which built Juno. In the background, scientists could be seen cheering, clapping and hugging each other. “You’re the best team ever! We just did the hardest thing Nasa has ever done,” said Scott Bolton, principle investigator of the Juno mission.
