From the article:

Jupiter's thick atmosphere and surface-free set-up make it an ideal exploration site, as harm is kept to a minimum. These reasons make the planet an exceptionally interesting spot to explore. 

 

Now, a team of researchers from Sofia University in Bulgaria has put together its expertise to explain how a nuclear-powered flyer would be best suited for exploring the planet.

 

The study was published in the preprint server, arXiv, which has yet to be peer-reviewed.
