I'm really impressed by the titanium "Electronic Vault":
 Coupled with radiation hardened silicon on sapphire components like the RAD750 processor, it's an elegant solution to the radiation problem. |

QUOTE (Explorer1 @ Jul 4 2016, 06:35 PM)  If anyone still has the butterflies in their stomach, I recommend movement 4 of The Planets, for obvious reasons. Very calming... Movement 5, though awesome, wouldn't have been so calming for Cassini....

20 minutes into the burn, now in an orbit.

Past perijove. We were at warp .0002 at that time. Slow for TV, but fast for us.

Burn ended, 1 sec off predictions.
"Welcome to Jupiter!" -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

There's a Juno doodle on Google right now.
Congratulations to the mission team, and looking forward to the months to come! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Hooray! Bring on the mission phase (and Cassini Grand Finale) for an improved understanding of gas giant internal structure.

Great news!!! Now I can happily go to sleep again after waking up at an unusual time to check if JOI was successful.
Congratulations to the Juno team. |

I had a 4 hours night, too.
Now I can return to work on JunoCam image processing, and be confident, that we'll go much beyond Earth flyby imaging. Schrödinger's cat is alive. Thanks and congrats to the Juno design and engineering teams! |

https://youtu.be/XpsQimYhNkA is a link to the full Juno approach movie as shown at the press conference.
I hope that a more stripped-down version if not the original frames will be available soon. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.

By the way, there should be a new documentary about Juno on the Science Channel tomorrow at 9 PM Eastern/8 PM Central (6 and 9 PM Pacific). If it didn't end up on the cutting room floor there should be some MSSS material in it.
