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.

Oops, I should've been more specific, I meant the four irregulars (Amalthea, etc). I know their orbits are a lot closer to Juno's perijove (~100-200 thousand km) but I'm not sure what that means considering their small size! I wouldn't expect anything like the Galileo images, but seeing their Jupiter-facing side (and constraining their orbits a bit) might be useful.
