NASA's Juno back to normal operations after entering safe mode
- NASA's Juno spacecraft entered a precautionary safe mode twice on April 4 during its 71st Jupiter flyby.
- Safe mode is a protective state the spacecraft uses when it detects anomalies.
- Juno rebooted its computer and suspended nonessential functions as designed during these events.
- NASA stated Juno first entered this mode at 5:17 a.m. EDT, about one hour before its closest approach.
- The mission team reestablished data transmission, and Juno is now back to normal operations.

Juno’s Close Call: How Jupiter’s Intense Radiation Sent It Into Safe Mode
NASA’s Juno spacecraft entered safe mode twice during a recent close pass of Jupiter, temporarily halting science operations. While safe mode is a normal precaution when anomalies are detected, the timing suggests Jupiter’s intense radiation belts may have triggered the issue. The spacecraft responded exactly as designed, and mission teams have resumed communications and begun [...]
NASA's Juno back to normal operations after entering safe mode
Data received from NASA's Juno mission indicates the solar-powered spacecraft went into safe mode twice on April 4 while the spacecraft was flying by Jupiter. Safe mode is a precautionary status that a spacecraft enters when it detects an anomaly. Nonessential functions are suspended, and the spacecraft focuses on essential tasks like communication and power management. Upon entering safe mode, Juno's science instruments were powered down, as de…
