==Follow-on missions==
There was a spare ''Galileo'' spacecraft that was considered by the NASA–ESA Outer Planets Study Team in 1983 for a mission to Saturn, but it was passed over in favor of a newer design, which became ''[[Cassini–Huygens]]''.{{sfn|National Research Council|European Space Science Committee|1998|p=61}} While ''Galileo'' was operating, ''[[Ulysses (spacecraft)|Ulysses]]'' passed by Jupiter in 1992 on its mission to study the Sun's polar regions, and ''[[Cassini–Huygens]]'' coasted by the planet in 2000 and 2001 en route to Saturn.{{sfn|Meltzer|2007|p=38}} ''[[New Horizons]]'' passed close by Jupiter in 2007 for a gravity assist en route to Pluto, and it too collected data on the planet.<ref>{{cite web |title=New Horizons: The Path to Pluto and Beyond |publisher=Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory |url=http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/Mission/The-Path-to-Pluto-and-Beyond.php |access-date=December 6, 2020 |archive-date=December 24, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201224232442/http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/Mission/The-Path-to-Pluto-and-Beyond.php |url-status=live }}</ref>

===''Juno''===
The next mission to orbit Jupiter was NASA's ''[[Juno (spacecraft)|Juno]]'' spacecraft, which was launched on August 5, 2011, and entered Jovian orbit on July 4, 2016. Although intended for a two-year mission, it is still active in 2024 and expected to continue until September 2025.<ref>{{cite web |title=Missions {{pipe}} Juno |publisher=NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory |url=https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/juno/ |access-date=December 6, 2020 |archive-date=March 1, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180301015624/https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/juno/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nasa.gov/missions/highlights/schedule.html |title=NASA's Shuttle and Rocket Launch Schedule |publisher=NASA |access-date=February 17, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110218005402/http://www.nasa.gov/missions/highlights/schedule.html |archive-date=February 18, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Juno |publisher=NASA |url=https://science.nasa.gov/mission/juno/ |access-date=April 3, 2024 |archive-date=April 3, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240403092500/https://science.nasa.gov/mission/juno/ |url-status=live }}</ref> ''Juno'' provided the first views of Jupiter's north pole and new insights into Jupiter's aurorae, magnetic field, and atmosphere.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Overview {{!}} Juno|url=https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/juno/overview/|url-status=live|access-date=May 19, 2021|website=[[NASA]]|archive-date=May 19, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210519143102/https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/juno/overview/}}</ref> Information gathered about Jovian lightning prompted revision of earlier theories,{{sfn|Connerney|Gurnett|Hospodarsky|Kurth|2018|pp=87–90}} and analysis of the frequency of interplanetary dust impacts (primarily on the backs of the solar panels), as ''Juno'' passed between Earth and the asteroid belt, indicated that this dust comes from [[Mars]], rather than from comets or asteroids, as was previously thought.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shekhtman |first=Lonnie |date=March 9, 2021 |title=Serendipitous Juno Detections Shatter Ideas About Origin of Zodiacal Light |url=https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/serendipitous-juno-detections-shatter-ideas-about-origin-of-zodiacal-light |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210318004153/https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/serendipitous-juno-detections-shatter-ideas-about-origin-of-zodiacal-light |archive-date=March 18, 2021 |access-date=March 19, 2021 |website=[[Jet Propulsion Laboratory]] |publisher=[[NASA]]}}</ref>
