when did the satellite juno arrive at jupiter

NASA’s Juno spacecraft arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016 (July 5, 2016 in Coordinated Universal Time).

Quick Scoop: Juno’s Big Arrival

• Juno launched from Cape Canaveral on August 5, 2011, beginning a roughly five-year journey through space.

• After traveling about 1.7–3 billion kilometers (depending on how you count its long looping path), it reached Jupiter and performed its critical orbit-insertion burn on July 4, 2016 (mission date), which corresponded to early July 5, 2016 UTC.

• During this maneuver, Juno fired its main engine for about half an hour, slowing down enough for Jupiter’s gravity to capture it into a 53‑day polar orbit.

In mission celebrations and news releases, you’ll often see “arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016” because that’s the date used by NASA in the U.S., even though the precise technical moment in UTC falls on July 5, 2016.

TL;DR: When did the satellite Juno arrive at Jupiter? It entered orbit around Jupiter around July 4–5, 2016, with NASA commonly giving July 4, 2016 as the arrival date.
