B&A Engineering is pleased to announce the successful delivery and qualification of JUNO Polar Orbiter, Micro Wave Radiometer (MWR) Instrument Computer Data Acquisition (CDU) board and FPGA. B&A Engineering developed the CDU board and the FPGA for NASA/JPL. The JUNO spacecraft is designed to carry nine instruments in addition to camera. To study Jupiter’s atmosphere, JUNO will carry a Microwave Radiometer (MWR).

JUNO Polar orbiter is scheduled to launch in 2011. The JUNO mission, scheduled to reach Jupiter in 2016, will travel in an elliptical polar orbit gathering clues on the formation and composition of the largest planet in the solar system. By studying Jupiter, scientists hope to learn how the solar system formed.
