This topic will consist of discussion of Juno operations post-JOI until end of mission, currently anticipated in Feb 2018.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Can anyone resolve this inconsistency?
Both the website, wikiedia, and emily's posts say JunoCam's maximum resolution it will achieve of Jupiter is 15 km/pixel However, JunoCam operation engineer Elsa Jensen says it will be 3 km/pixel in this interview on twitter: https://twitter.com/NASAJuno/status/750068514560495616 |

Can anyone resolve this inconsistency? It's about 15 km/pixel over the poles and about 4 km/pixel at closest approach. The IFOV (per-pixel field of view) is 673 microradians, so the resolution at distance d is 673e-6*d. http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11214-014-0079-x -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
