About This Book

A detailed account chronicles the planning, instruments, and execution of two robotic flybys of the Solar System's largest planet, describing how decades of preparation and earlier probes enabled an intense period of discovery. It recounts the spacecraft operations, imaging and science teams, and the sequence of encounters that revealed complex atmospheric dynamics, storm systems, a vast magnetosphere, active volcanism on an inner satellite, and richly varied surfaces among the larger moons. Chapters explain mission history, scientific methods, encounter narratives, and subsequent analyses, while appendices collect maps, team lists, and further reading for readers interested in the technical and pictorial record.
