Solution
The correct option is C Juno
- Juno is the first mission designed by NASA to see beneath Jupiter’s clouds.
- Juno's primary goal is to reveal the story of Jupiter's formation and evolution. It will also observe Jupiter's gravity and magnetic fields, atmospheric dynamics and composition.
- It will have a mission life of 20 months from July 2016 to Feb 2018. In its mission life, the spacecraft will circle the Jupiter 37 times before finally making a death plunge in 2018 in order to avoid accidentally crashing onto one of the planet’s moons.
