A lot has happened and it seemed like a good time to start a new post. We will be staying in 53 day orbits until the project has a full understanding of the risks that may or may not be associated with reducing the orbit period to 14 days per our previous plan.

Normally an 'interested lurker' here, but just noticed that PJ3 was yesterday but no updates on the forum or the Juno website? Anyone know if the data-gathering was successful?
(On a side note has public interest already dropped off on this mission, hope not!) - Michael |

Anyone know if the data-gathering was successful? ... has public interest already dropped off on this mission... We've been steadily getting Junocam data and as of now have maybe 2/3rds of it. I think everyone will be pleased with the more favorable lighting on this pass, and it looks like the tweaks we made to the compression commanding have worked. I'm not sure when this will get pushed out to missionjuno. Normally we would wait for the whole dataset to show up and the DSN schedule has been spotty, for example, we were on the 34m net at Madrid last night and the data rate is low. On the topic of public interest, obviously nothing new has happened since PJ1 apart from the problems with the propulsion system. All of the media reports I've seen have been supportive and enthusiastic about the mission. This was the first pass for public target voting, which had fairly good participation. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
