It's time to start a new topic for Juno's Perijove-09.
Due to solar conjunction, data downlink is delayed several days, but things appear to look good thus far. Data downlink started on October 31, and if everything continues well, it should be a matter of a few days, at most, until the majority of the raw Perijove-09 images will become available. Due to the incremented available storage for JunoCam, we may get a sufficient coverage to render a pole to pole -- well, almost pole to pole -- fly-over reconstruction, despite the difficult communication near solar conjunction. I'll have a try at least, over the next few weeks. |

Gerald, thanks for making the quick and dirty versions available so quickly. I have processed image #105, which is a family portrait of Jupiter with Io and Europa.
Perijove 9 Departure - JunoCam A small amount of unsharp masking was applied to enhance some of the detail, which reveals what look like real albedo features on Io's surface. This image is simply enlarged by 3x: Ganymede Perijove 9 detail - JunoCam This is Io's southern hemisphere but I'm not entirely sure which features should be visible. Maybe Tarsus Regio? |
