Juno is set to flyby of Europa on Sept. 29, 2022 (PJ45)
I can't wait to see the results of this flyby! Sadly not much information is available online. Jason Has a beautiful animation of encounter on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9bx1GcoqEE...nel=volcanopele |

I updated my kernels earlier this week to prep for this week’s PDS release (not expecting JIRAM Io data, but there could be some distant ones) and for the Europa encounter. so yeah, that’s the kernel I’m using (along with the latest Predict trajectory file) to estimate the viewing geometry. I’m using Cosmographia to get a predicted central image time centered at Europa then I feed that time to a python script that spits out the center lat/Lon, subsolar lat/Lon, altitude, JIRAM pixel scale, and JunoCAM pixel scale.
Central image times were 09:37:49, 09:38:49, 09:39:49, and 09:40:48. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!
