Our scientists have finally found a way to travel to the largest planet in our solar system. We want to share this once in a lifetime opportunity with you! Please take a few minutes out of your day to read up on this amazing planet! Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System. It has a diameter of 142, 984 km! It is 778 330 000 km’s (or 5.20 AU’s) away from the Sun. It is also one of the four gas giants. While the planet is beautiful, it can be very cold. Jupiter has a surface temperature of -108 °C! It takes 10 hours for Jupiter to rotate once. It takes 4 332.82 (equal to about 12 Earth years) Earth days for Jupiter to complete its orbit around the Sun. Its gravity is 23.1 m/s². Jupiter has many moons. The four largest are Callisto, Io, Europa and Ganymede. They are known as the Galilean Satellites, because they were the only four moons Galileo was able to see. Jupiter has 57 other moons There will be a little turbulence when we arrive on the planet. There is a certain section of the planet covered by the Great Red Storm. It has been raging on for hundreds of years. Don’t worry though, we won’t land anywhere near this storm. Jupiter was first visited by the Pioneer 10 in 1973. It has also been visited by the Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2 and Ulysses and it will be visited by the Juno Mission in 2016. It was also orbited by the spacecraft Galileo for 8 years!
