Jupiter-bound probe arrives at launch site BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: April 8, 2011 
The Air Force C-17 cargo plane carrying the Juno spacecraft touched down at Kennedy Space Center's shuttle runway at 2355 GMT (7:55 p.m. EDT). After taxiing to the tarmac, the military crew opened the huge plane's doors and engineers unloaded Juno from the cargo hold after sunset. The spacecraft was scheduled to be trucked to the Astrotech processing facility in nearby Titusville late Friday night. Juno is scheduled to launch Aug. 5 and reach Jupiter in July 2016.
