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 |

The Voyagers got considerable amounts of sampled high resolution imagery at up to some 20 or 15 km resolution <similar to Amalthea> Much of it was low contrast vaguely swirley diffuse cloud patterns with little visual "pull" to grab interest. I think little of it was in color but I don't know that. Certainly, little has ever been presented to the public, other than as archived images on the Voyager disks. I've sort of wondered what could be done with it... maybe superimpose it in synchronized wide angle shots.. I suspect some was mosaics or strips of imaging to sample Jupiter at high rez but I don't remember.
