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. |

Agreed, Voyager triplets are definitively worth to be reviewed under this aspect, especially since they could complement for latitudes that are hard to investigate with JunoCam images.
There are also Hubble data that may be feasible for an analysis of mid-scale, short-time dynamics. The field of applications seems to be much more diverse than I expected after my first tentative experiments. |
