Orbit Transfers and Interplanetary Trajectories
... Comparing to the value of the Hohmann transfer ΔvT of 3875 m/s, we see that the fast transfer requires a ΔvT which is 54% higher. The analysis of elliptical trajectories which intersect the circular orbits at an angle is referred to as Lambert’s problem. These trajectories can have faster transit ti ...

Juno (spacecraft)
Juno is a NASA New Frontiers mission to the planet Jupiter. Juno was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on 5 August 2011 and will arrive on 4 July 2016. The spacecraft is to be placed in a polar orbit to study Jupiter's composition, gravity field, magnetic field, and polar magnetosphere. Juno will also search for clues about how the planet formed, including whether it has a rocky core, the amount of water present within the deep atmosphere, how its mass is distributed, and its deep winds, which can reach speeds of 618 kilometers per hour (384 mph).The spacecraft's name comes from Greco-Roman mythology. The god Jupiter drew a veil of clouds around himself to hide his mischief, but his wife, the goddess Juno, was able to peer through the clouds and see Jupiter's true nature.
