Science's main quest is to research with the purpose of understanding. It is surprising how little it is known about the Solar System we inhabit. Up to this point the process for humanity has been slow but it is amazing to see what we have been able to discover and understand about space, and our own Planet in such a short time. A planet where information concerning the formation of our solar system is found is Jupiter. It's characteristics and our interests will be discussed, as well as why the Juno mission was selected. In addition, an overview of the mission's architecture will be given as well as the role of the Solar System Exploration Division (Code 695) at Goddard Space Flight Center in NASA, which is in charge of the Magnetic Field Experiment (MFE) that will fly onboard the Juno Mission.
The development of space exploration has allowed us to have in-situ data about space phenomena some of which has been theorized, barely understood or just unknown. Among the disciplines that have been greatly impacted by our recurrent scientific development has been the study of magnetism. The MFE main objective is to measure and map the Jovian magnetic field, especially at its poles, where greater fields are encountered. For this a Fluxgate Magnetometer (FGM) will be flown on the spacecraft. This paper will present the development of one of the components of the FGM electronics, the inductive components. Thirteen signal-processing inductors to be used in the test bed of the FGM were made.
The accomplishment of the Mission Objectives is imperative for this mission, as it will take humankind one-step closer to understanding the formation process of our Solar Neighborhood.
