Today is Jupiter Orbit Insertion (JOI) minus 180 days. 53.5 days after JOI, Juno will make its next close pass to Jupiter, and that's when we expect to get the first good images from Junocam, although there may be some imaging during approach and earlier on the first orbit.

The instruments should be on; they are all working on approach, but every instrument will be turned off 5 days before JOI until after orbit insertion.
I have a lengthy "what to expect" blog post about Junocam imaging coming soon -- it's currently under review. -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
