NASA’s Juno spacecraft<\/a> will fire its engine to go into orbit around Jupiter this evening:\u00a0Live coverage: Juno spacecraft hours away from arriving at Jupiter \u2013 Spaceflight Now<\/a><\/p>\n

By the time engineers on Earth receive confirmation of the start of Juno’s one-shot Jupiter Orbit Insertion burn at 11:18 p.m. EDT (0318 GMT), it will all be over.<\/em><\/p>\n

If the firing goes according to plan, Juno will already be in orbit around Jupiter at that time, ground controllers won’t know for sure until 11:53 p.m. EDT (0353 GMT), when a tone sent by the spacecraft at the conclusion of the burn will be received by NASA’s Deep Space Network.<\/em><\/p>\n

At Jupiter’s distance a half-billion miles away, it takes 48 minutes and 19 seconds for a radio signal to travel at the speed of light between Juno and Earth.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is a\u00a0timeline<\/a>\u00a0of major events in the mission<\/p>\n
