It maps Jupiter's gravitational field, which will allow the interior of Jupiter to be better understood. It uses special hardware on Juno, and also on Earth, including the high-gain K-band and X-band communication systems of the Deep Space Network as well as Juno's Ka-band Translator System (KaTS). These components work together to detect minute changes in radio frequency (Doppler shift) to measure the spacecraft's velocity over time. The KaTS box was funded by the Italian Space Agency and overseen by professor Luciano Iess from University La Sapienza in Rome. KaTS detects signals coming from the DSN on Earth, and then sends replies in a very precise way that allows the velocity of Juno to be determined to within 0.001 millimeters per second. The spacecraft receives a tone signal on the Ka band and then replies using the X-band radio. As the spacecraft traverses the space near Jupiter, the planet, and even variations in the planets interior, cause a variation in Juno velocity. The gravity science experiment measures these velocity changes using a combination of hardware on Earth and the spacecraft, which allows the effect of gravity to be measured, and thereby mass variations in Jupiter's interior. Communication signals: \n* Deep Space Network 25 sends a tone signal at 32.5 GHz (Ka-Band) \n* Juno KaTS sends tone signal at 35 GHz (X-Band) Juno launched in 2011 and arrived at Jupiter orbit in July 2016. The GS was planned out to be used on orbits 4, orbit 9, and orbits 10 through 32. When GS operates it must point its antenna at Earth, and is not operated simultaneously with the Microwave Radiometer instrument on Juno. The parameters of the GS experiment were adjusted to account for a 53-day orbit the Juno spacecraft ended up being in. The GS experiment uses Deep Space Network's DSS-25 antenna which is equipped with simultaneous dual X- and Ka-band transmitters and receivers, as well as the spacecraft which also has X and Ka-band radio systems."@en . . . . . . .
