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. |

Here is a montage of several versions of PJ-9 image 93:
A: An approximately true color/contrast image. B: An approximately true color/contrast image where the effects of global illumination have been removed. This reveals dimly lit features near the terminator. C: Same as B but in addition, the colors and contrast have been exaggerated and small scale details sharpened to better reveal various features. D: Same as the previous version with the addition of a latitude/longitude grid. This reveals the location of Jupiter's south pole. A subset of the metadata: IMAGE_TIME = 2017-10-24T18:39:10.279 MISSION_PHASE_NAME = PERIJOVE 9 PRODUCT_ID = JNCE_2017297_09C00093_V01 SPACECRAFT_ALTITUDE = 79834.2 km SPACECRAFT_NAME = JUNO SUB_SPACECRAFT_LATITUDE = -78.1351 SUB_SPACECRAFT_LONGITUDE = 279.7929 TITLE = Southern timelapse Resolution at nadir: ~54 km/pixel |
