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?

The same thing almost happened to Voyager, if the BBC documentary series 'The Planets', was accurate in its description of the 'one man' fight to have the moons included as imaging targets for Voyager.

Supposedly until the Io pictures came in the mission team was entirely composed of Atmospheric and Astrophysics specialists ready to unravel the mysteries of the Jovian atmosphere...


Very early in the planning stage (about 1972/73) MJS 77 got cameras with Mariner 10 heritage. This has not been easy (budget etc.) and I guess this is the "dramatic fight" in The Planets. The moons have been a primary science target at least since then. JPL studied many trajectories and could only get close encounters with three moons at Jupiter. At Saturn, Titan has been a so high priority, Voyager 2 could be sent to it again if Voyager 1 failed.

As for Juno: Its not about images first, not even second. It's not a sexy mission imo, but we will learn at lot.

I know the images are not a priority, but there are two things I am hoping for from JunoCam. First, any serendipitous shot it can get of the four inner moons, since coverage from Galileo and Voyager is so limited and most of the moon oriented missions likely to be selected any time soon are not likely to get close to them. Secondly, a few decent Io images for temporal coverage with better resolution than we have from earth. Plus, especially if the cloud tops are in the background, these images would be great for PR.
