HOW DO YOU POWER A SIX-YEAR JOURNEY?

Juno is powered by three huge solar arrays that are arranged on the spacecraft like a windmill. The arrays have to be big because Jupiter is five times farther from the sun than Earth, which means the sunlight is 25 times weaker. Despite their size, the arrays will produce only about 450 watts of power at Jupiter – only enough to run four standard light bulbs.
