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's also the issue of how much of that 3 x 9 x 2 m area is actually filled with arrays. Technically a 54m^2 area, but what's the packing density of the arrays going to be like - how much will be taken up with hinges etc... 8% is probably a fairly good guess, making it 50m^2 - and that's where the 500W comes from
What I want to know is what the downlink will be like Doug |

What I want to know is what the downlink will be like The lack of photographic images will make it easy to meet the needs of the other instruments, won't it? Also, aren't scientific observations limited to a small part of the orbit? There should be no trouble getting down all the data that Juno can produce. IMHO |
