I know this mission is not meant to study any Jovian satellites, but is Juno going to, by chance, pass near enough to any satellites (particularly small, not well imaged satellites) that it could take any useful pictures of them? (Or will it be possible to finagle the final de-orbit burn to send it past a satellite for this purpose?)

I have a question about post Io operations should Juno manage it. Could Juno eventually be able to flyby and image Amalthea further down the road and accomplish what Galileo was not able to?

Amalthea is tiny and Junocam's FOV is very large; a flyby would have to be very close to improve on Galileo, so I wouldn't hold out too much hope... |
