Explore! Jupiter's Family Secrets was developed through a generous grant from NASA's Science Mission Directorate.

Jupiter's Family Secrets is a special Explore! module. It is connected directly to a current and exciting NASA mission — the Juno mission — that will explore Jupiter. Jupiter's Family Secrets was developed through a collaboration between the Lunar and Planetary Institute's (LPI) Department of Education and Public Outreach and the Juno Education and Public Outreach team and Juno scientists and engineers.
