Juno Science Objectives

Origin
Determine O/H ratio (water abundance) and constrain core mass to decide among alternative theories of origin

Interior
Understand Jupiter's interior structure and dynamical properties by mapping its gravitational and magnetic fields

Atmosphere
Map variations in atmospheric composition, temperature, cloud opacity and dynamics to depths greater than 100 bars at all latitudes

Magnetosphere
Characterize and explore the three-dimensional structure of Jupiter's polar magnetosphere and auroras
