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 |

Also thank you to Brian! We used one of your missionjuno contributions as a figure.

Great, informative paper!
I'm curious – was there any ability to use this data to put helpful bounds on the real rate of rotation and/or detect a discrepancy between the rate of the ice shell's rotation vs. that implied by tidal locking? I guess that the lack of mention is an implied negative, or it is subsumed in the discussion about no surface changes being detected. |

We did take a cursory look but didn't see anything dramatic. |
