Jupiter Juno is the second exploration project carried out by NASA's New Frontier Program (the first is the New Horizon probe, which was launched in 2006), CTOnews.com reported on January 1.

The data connection between Juno and the ground control center was interrupted after flying over Jupiter in December last year, but it has now been restored.

According to reports, NASA controllers skimmed Jupiter for the 47th time on December 14, but when researchers tried to extract scientific data from the flyby, they found that Juno seemed to have a glitch because they no longer had direct access to its memory.

After some time, the team successfully restarted Juno's computer, and on December 17, it set Juno to "safe mode" and ran only the necessary systems as a precaution. Since then, the NASA team has been trying to recover Juno's scientific data, and now it has been successfully downloaded.

"Scientific data on the solar spacecraft's last flyby of Jupiter and its moon Io appear to be intact," NASA said.

Scholars believe that the data interruption was caused by intense radiation when Juno flew over part of Jupiter's magnetosphere, and there is no indication that radiation caused data damage. The remaining data from Juno's latest flyby are expected to be sent back to Earth in the next few days, when operators can assess whether it has been affected by the outage.

CTOnews.com learned that Juno left Earth in August 2011, traveled 1.7 million miles, and entered orbit around Jupiter on July 4, 2016, five years later. Juno became the first spacecraft to penetrate Jupiter's dense clouds, aiming to explore questions about the composition and origin of Jupiter.

According to the Planetary Society, the main mission of the spacecraft will end in July, and the spacecraft is expected to continue its expanded mission until at least 2025. The spacecraft is expected to exit safe mode this week and will conduct its next Jupiter flyby mission on January 22, 2023.
