August 2021 marks ten years since Nasa's mission to Jupiter, Juno, was launched. The mission was expected to end with the $1.1 billion satellite deorbiting into the planet's gassy atmosphere. But thanks to the ingenuity of its engineering, the robust spacecraft has surpassed expectations and been granted an extension to its life.
