Part of the perijove-11 data have already been downlinked. So, we should start an according topic.
Here a thumbnail simulation I've rendered a few days ago, in order to see, how Jupiter may appear in JunoCam images: The simulation is based on SPICE kernels as they have been available last week. Simulated shading is of Lambertian type by solar incidence. The short appearance of a small portion of a mirror image of Jupiter in the upper and lower left corner indicates an apparent vertical extension of Jupiter of more than 180 degrees in cylindrical coordinates, which is strange. I wonder, whether that's a glitch in my calculations, or whether it can be explained by Juno's curved trajectory close to Jupiter, while JunoCam is taking the simulated image over about 15 seconds. I don't mean the mirror image (which doesn't appear in real images), but the extension of more than 180 vertical cylindrical degrees. |

An enhanced south polar equidistant map:
It's a point noise filtered and enhanced version of four stacked maps, each of which hipassed with a context-sensitive hipass filter designed to avoid most of the artifacts near the terminator ususal hipass filters would cause. The PNG version is submitted to missionjuno/processing. |
