The interactive Solar System Exploration History timeline is now at version 1.4.1, with mostly data updates. Meanwhile, for obvious reasons, here is all the data about the Jupiter system from the app on one page. First an overview of the whole system on a logarithmic scale with all moons, groups of moons and rings ordered by mean distance and inclination, as well as every spacecraft flyby or orbit insertion so far, marked at the point of closest approach or OI-periapsis for orbiters. The location for Juno is approximate. Below is a table of statistics for all Jupiter missions so far. See further down for all the data about Jupiter's moons and rings
