My short bio:
UPDATE: 5:20 p.m. EDT: That's all the time we have for today; got to get back to flying this spacecraft. We'll check back as time permits to answer other questions. Till then, please follow the mission online at http://twitter.com/NASAJuno and http://facebook.com/NASAjuno
We're team members working on NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter. After an almost five-year journey through space, we received confirmation that Juno successfully entered Jupiter's orbit during a 35-minute engine burn. Confirmation that the burn had completed was received on Earth last night at 8:53 pm. PDT (11:53 p.m. EDT) Monday, July 4. Today, July 5 from 4-5 p.m. ET, we're taking your questions. Ask us anything!

Juno's main goal is to understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter. With its suite of nine science instruments, Juno will investigate the existence of a solid planetary core, map Jupiter's intense magnetic field, measure the amount of water and ammonia in the deep atmosphere, and observe the planet's auroras.
