Why NASA's Juno probe is built like an armoured tank

Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

NASA鈥檚 probe Juno arrives at Jupiter on 4th July, where it will execute a daring loop-the-loop in order to get closer to the giant planet than any other spacecraft in history. Juno is constructed like an armoured tank, because Jupiter is surrounded by a belt of very intense radiation that can quickly fry most spacecraft electronics. Dr Adam Rutherford talks to the man in charge - Dr Scott Bolton. First broadcast on 麻豆社 Inside Science, 30 June 2016.
