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.

Great to see Aussie news highlighting the Juno mission.
I guess a minor nitpick, they are saying, Juno has entered Jupiter's orbit. Should be, has entered orbit around Jupiter. No prob, most people you speak to are very impressed. |
