#1
Posted 05 August 2011 - 01:47 AM
Just two weeks after the end of its historic shuttle programme, Nasa will today launch a solar-powered spacecraft on a mission to Jupiter.
The robotic explorer Juno is set to become the most distant probe ever powered by the sun.
The windmill-shaped craft is equipped with three tractor-trailer-size solar panels for its two billion-mile journey into the outer solar system.
It will blast-off from Cape Canaveral in Florida at 11.34am local time (4.34pm BST) aboard an unmanned Atlas V rocket.
