Commanding Juno after years of testing was at first a nerve-racking experience for the scientists, engineers and countless other collaborators from across the world. The team worked as a family to make sure that launch was a success, that all nine on-board instruments operate as designed, that navigation, once in flight, goes smoothly, and that the mission-critical Juno Orbit Insertion went exactly as planned.

"We look at view graphs and charts and analyses all the time – what blows my mind is when I go out at night, and I look up at Jupiter, and I realize, we’re there." — Rick Nybakken, Project Manager 2012-2017, JPL
