NASA's Juno spacecraft faced radiation damage to its JunoCam camera while orbiting Jupiter. The team used a novel annealing process, heating the camera to temporarily repair radiation-induced damage, which allowed the camera to capture detailed images of Io's volcanoes just before the damage recurred. This experience offers valuable lessons for designing radiation-tolerant spacecraft and satellites.
