It's time to open a perijove-4 thread.
Voting is open for another two days. So, don't hesitate too long. Besides the discussion and the POIs on the mission page, you might consider John Roger's detailed discussion of several interesting features. If everything goes well, all instruments will be switched on. |

Adding 53.5 days to last known perijove is difficult, but not beyond the math skills of some on this forum.
Edit: Sorry for the Snark--I thought the question was about the day not the second... -------------------- |

Adding 53.5 days to last known perijove is difficult, but not beyond the math skills of some on this forum. The orbit period is not precisely a constant because there are trim maneuvers, especially later in the mission to avoid eclipses. If you only want to know it to a few hours' accuracy, adding a constant may be good enough. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
