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.

An article by SpaceNews says that the original mission's goals can be met by extending the mission to 2021 (approval for an extended mission would need to come in mid 2018). By using smaller thrusters, the orbit can be tweaked to avoid eclipses. SpaceNews -------------------- |
