The future of satellite technology is focused on discovering secrete of the planets.With the help of engineers and scientist NASA has developed and flies very small satellites called nanosatellites. nanosatellites are designed for a wide spectrum of space missions including biology experiments, testing advanced propulsion and communications technologies. The main objective of nanosatellites is to uncover the secrets in the outer layers of Earth's atmosphere to benefit people on Earth.
Another satellite called Glory will be launched to increase scientists understanding of the earth’s energy balance. Glory is a low Earth orbit scientific research satellite designed to achieve two major goals: collect data on the properties of aerosols, black carbon in the earth atmosphere and climate and solar irradiance for the long term effects on the earth climate record.
Scientist believe that Jupiter holds secrets about our solar system’s early history. A satellite called Juno will be launched on 2011 to help scientists improve their understanding of our solar system by revealing the origin and evolution of Jupiter. The satellite will unlock many of the secrets on how planet formation unfolds in other star systems. Juno will detected volume of water is in Jupiter’s atmosphere, measure composition, temperature, cloud motions and other properties, map Jupiter’s magnetic and gravity fields, and so on
Assembly began April 1, 2010, for NASA’s Juno spacecraft in the high-bay cleanroom at Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver Colorado.
