Microwave Radiometer is an instrument on the Juno orbiter sent to planet Jupiter. MWR is a multi-wavelength microwave radiometer for making observations of Jupiter's deep atmosphere. MWR can observe r
In this view several white squares of different sizes can be seen on the side of the spacecraft;this side has five of the six MWR antennas. The triangular boom on the right is the Magnetometer (MAG) instrument
The white square is the biggest MWR antenna, and takes up another side of the spacecraft. This antenna is for 600 MHz.
This visualization released by NASA depicts the layers that MWR will observe below the top visible cloud layer

The path of the Ulysses spacecraft through the magnetosphere of Jupiter in 1992, shows the location of the Jovian bow shock.
This illustration shows how the Jovian magnetosphere is thought to interact with the incoming solar wind (yellow arrows)
