So, according to the voting page, apparently the spacecraft's being spun around to get the instruments pointed directly at the planet. Io and Ganymede will also be imaged during this pass, as they'll come into view of JunoCam two hours before and twelve hours after closest approach, respectively. For Io, the team are "planning to take two pictures - one exposed nominally and one that over-exposes Io to look for volcanic plumes extending above the surface." The Great Red Spot is also expected to come into view during the spacecraft's departure.
Here's a logo for Perijove 12 I threw together, by the way. ![]() |

Those are fantastic results, Seán!
This PJ12 flyby is so incredibly rewarding. ...Now better fasten your seat-belts, before you scroll down on this site of PJ12 partial south polar maps. This preliminary version is also submitted to missionjuno/processing. I'll need some sleep now, before I'll try to create some refined versions. |
