After a flyby of Jupiter in December, a data disruption interrupted communications between the probe and its operators on Earth, but the probe is now back to normal.

The latest flyby of Jupiter was completed on December 14th. The operators at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory were able to see the data from the flyby, but they couldn't see the memory.

The team put the spaceship into safe mode after successfully restarting the computer. The steps taken by the team to recover the data had been going well as of December 22nd. The operators have been able to downlink the data.

NASA said the science data from the most recent flyby of Jupiter and its moon Io appears to be intact.

There are 10 huge mysteries of Jupiter.

It is thought that the interruption was caused by the intense radiation of Jupiter's magnetosphere. The data from its flyby of the volcanic Jupiter moon Io has not been damaged.

Operators will be able to assess if the disruption has affected the data when it is beamed back to Earth next week.

After leaving Earth in August of 2011, Juno traveled 1.7 million miles around the gas giant planet before it was discovered. The goal of the mission was to answer questions about Jupiter's composition and origin.

The most detailed view of the moon was snapped by NASA.

3 Terabits of scientific data and some incredible images of Jupiter and its moons were collected by Juno, which took 53 Earth days to reach Jupiter. Jupiter is thought to be the oldest world in the solar system, so learning more about it could reveal more about the formation of the solar system.

The data revealed an atmospheric weather layer stretching far beyond its water clouds and a deep interior with a heavy element core.

According to the Planetary Society, the spacecraft is expected to continue its science operations until at least 2025.

The next flyby of Jupiter was expected to take place in January of23.
