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.

This is an animated gif of preliminarily processed PJ3 approach images:
The last 10 or so frames have been too large to be properly aligned by centering. Here the stills, and a respective version showing more context. --- S.C.Albers: I guess, 'I' is an index in a loop (iteration?). Not quite sure about the meaning of '1.D0', I guess simply 1.0 in some progamming language. Besides this, it looks fairly easy to implement. Thanks! Transforming SPICE trajectories to this algorithm should be well-feasible, too, with position vectors relative to Jupiter. |

Not quite sure about the meaning of '1.D0' Double-precision floating-point constant. Once upon a time there was a language called FORTRAN and all serious scientific programming was done in it... similar syntax is used in languages like IDL. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
