I thought that it was time to start a new thread devoted to the JUNO Jupiter
Orbiter mission. This New Frontiers Mission #2 seems to be a "stealth" project with little information available on the Web. In fact, the official NASA JUNO web site is quite pitiful. It contains the minimal amount of information on what seems to be an intriguing mission, in terms of both science and engineering. Does the UMSF community have information on this mission that has not been widely seen before? Another Phil |

There was a very detailed "Science News" article in late spring 1971 on the overall changes in Viking's payload. At that time, the choice between the two element anal,yzers had not yet been made, but was called imminent. By early 1972, when Icarus did a whole special issue on the Viking science payload, it had been made.
(Not that this is exactly an earthshaking point -- but they definitely had an element analyzer of some type planned before Mariner 9's results. The official Viking history, "On Mars", can probably tell us more -- I have a copy.) |
