I thought that it was time to start a new thread devoted to the JUNO Jupiter
Orbiter mission. This New Frontiers Mission #2 seems to be a "stealth" project with little information available on the Web. In fact, the official NASA JUNO web site is quite pitiful. It contains the minimal amount of information on what seems to be an intriguing mission, in terms of both science and engineering. Does the UMSF community have information on this mission that has not been widely seen before? Another Phil |

They haven't released a new reference trajectory, but I would imagine that even with a change in the arrival geometry, they aren't changing their science orbit very much, so it wouldn't setup opportunities that are too terribly different from what we see now.

No, but I was hoping that it might (by luck) make some of the better opportunities come sooner, while JunoCam is more likely to be operational.
