NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is toying with the idea of exploring Jupiter 's atmosphere with robotic " satellites " which would be capable of remaining airborne in the upper atmosphere . The windbot concept calls for rotors attached to different sides of the probe that can spin independently to navigate and create lift. So far the concept has received $ 100,000 of funds from NASA 's NASA Advanced Concepts Program .
