IO Large Space Telescope

Caption

Southwest Research Institute will lead a large Space Telescope Science Institute project using the Hubble and James Webb telescopes to remotely study Io during complementary flybys of the Jupiter moon by NASA’s Juno spacecraft. Juno’s upcoming flybys offer an excellent opportunity for combining intensive in situ measurements with Earth-based remote sensing to understand Io’s volcanic contributions to the plasma environment around Jupiter.
