Unmanned Spaceflight.com _ Juno _ Juno, perijove 10

Posted by: Gerald Dec 18 2017, 12:15 PM

Data of Juno's Perijove-10 are going to be downlinked.

Here is a tiny 6000-fold time-lapsed simulation from 2017-12-16T16:30:00.000 to 2017-12-16T20:00:00.000:

It shows, that during approach, Jupiter's night side has come into JunoCam's field of view, first. Then there have been some interesting new perspectives, before Jupiter's south polar region has been in JunoCam's view during departure.
The simulation is based on preliminary, and on some reconstructed SPICE data. Timing of actual image data differ from the stills of the above tiny simulation.

This is also interesting (from https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/voting?id=8 ):

QUOTE
We are also reducing the amount of compression for the closest images to minimize compression artifacts.

The area around latitude 40 degrees north has been especially photogenic since Juno's arrival (I don't know if images of that area qualify as "closest images" though).

Posted by: Gerald Dec 18 2017, 10:17 PM

Near closest approach, the contrast turned out to be pretty low during previous flybys, resulting in DCT block artifacts of approximately the size of potentially interesting features, and a slow flyby movie would also degrade in quality due to the visibility of the compression artifacts. Additionally, near the latitudes of the GRS, there seem to have formed large turbulent features before PJ9 that are worth images of good quality. The geometry of future perijoves will worsen for flyby animation purposes. So, this may by one of the last opportunities to take an according sequence.
Regarding observations of the polar CPCs, we'll likely get better results for the south than for the north due to image geometry and illumination.

Regarding latitude: The correlation of time and latitude won't be as strict as it has been for early orbits. This is another reason, why voting for features on certain latitudes would be less applicable.

Do you know if the geometry gets better again late in the mission?

Posted by: Gerald Dec 18 2017, 10:46 PM

Provided, Juno gets an extension until 2021, and the instruments will still be healthy, the answer is yes, the geometry will improve again.

A quick processing of four of the Perijove 10 images.


 

Posted by: Gerald Dec 20 2017, 03:16 AM

With some delay, http://junocam.pictures/gerald/uploads/20171220/. The second half of the PJ-10 close-up images are still to be downlinked.
This version is rendered without 3D information; so the close-ups are misaligned a bit. Image #002 shows two of the moons, the larger one should be Io, according to the title. Might be, that there is more, but it's what I've seen at first glance. Of course, there are lots of energetic particle hits.

Posted by: Sean Dec 20 2017, 11:20 AM

This already looks like an exceptional set Gerald...and the lack of artifacts on closest approach is also very promising.

Great early processing by Kevin as well!

I can only imagine what Matt has up his sleeve...

Posted by: Gerald Dec 20 2017, 01:13 PM

A tiny animation of the RGB images available thus far:


And here a larger version of some of them, first #018, and #020:



The images show some image noise, since they have been taken with TDI 1. There are also many energetic particle hits.

Last night, I've simply been too tired to render reasonable products. A small glitch (forgot to copy&paste Juno's rotation period from the image adjustment batch into the rendering batch) prevented an overnight run.

Updates to PJ10 images with improved color. Alignment is still a bit rougher than I'd like.

 

Posted by: Floyd Dec 22 2017, 10:44 PM

Kevin--Like Sean you can start with Gerald's extremely carefully aligned and processed images and just work you magic from there. Gerald was working on his image pipeline way before Juno arrived in orbit and has been improving it with each orbit. But, if you want to do it all on your own, more power to you as your are making impressive images.

Posted by: Gerald Dec 23 2017, 01:50 AM

http://junocam.pictures/gerald/uploads/20171223/. Those aren't yet properly aligned, since they are rendered without trajectory data nor shape model.
I'm working on a version with trajectory data and shape model. This will likely take a few more hours.

And http://junocam.pictures/gerald/uploads/20171222/. This site may be updated the next few days with more fragments.

Posted by: Kevin Gill Dec 23 2017, 02:20 AM

Floyd, I'm stubbornly working on my own pipeline. :-) Gerald's is far more advanced than my own, but I've been enjoying the work (and I tend to rewrite it every couple months). I do have a number of additions to it in terms of viewing geometry and Spice calculations but they weren't ready for this perijove.

Posted by: Sean Dec 23 2017, 03:43 AM

I really value Kevin's contributions as they provide an alternative to how I'm interpreting Gerald's images. In some cases I have reviewed what I have done as a result. I would consider his work part of my workflow now! ( Thanks Kev! )

The images are vertically 180 degrees, and horizontally 60 degrees FOV. They are reprojected to Juno's trajectory position at image stop time.
The images are decompanded, approximately illumination-adjusted according to an illumination model inferred from PJ06 TDI-2 images, gamma-streched to the 4th power of radiometrical data, mostly patched from repetitive camera artifacts, and approximately exposure-adjusted based on the 99.9% quantile.

Posted by: Bjorn Jonsson Dec 30 2017, 07:13 PM

Here are my versions of image PJ10_028. I recently made minor improvements to my processing. The biggest difference is that now I no longer 'lose' the fuzzy and bluish horizon at the limb in the hi-res images as as result of the processing (the limb isn't sharply defined in these images as in my earlier images). First three approximately true color/contrast versions:



Notice the bluish horizon at the limb, especially in the central image. This is Jupiter's blue sky.

And versions with enhanced colors, contrast and sharpness:



Juno was only 4420 km above Jupiter's clouds. This is especially obvious in the central image which has a field of view of 70 degrees.

The image below shows Jupiter's blue sky at the limb; this is an approximately true color/contrast image. This image has a field of view of 20 degrees. This corresponds to an enlargement by a factor of ~3 compared to the original framelets.


And finally a subset of the relevant metadata:

IMAGE_TIME = 2017-12-16T17:59:33.468
MISSION_PHASE_NAME = PERIJOVE 10
PRODUCT_ID = JNCE_2017350_10C00028_V01
SPACECRAFT_ALTITUDE = 4420.2
SPACECRAFT_NAME = JUNO
SUB_SPACECRAFT_LATITUDE = 5.7721
SUB_SPACECRAFT_LONGITUDE = 297.5258
TITLE = North Equatorial Belt, southern edge
Resolution at nadir: ~3.0 km/pixel

Posted by: Gerald Jan 1 2018, 08:16 PM

Thanks, AviSolo!
The vast majority of the merits ought to go to the many people working in the background, who make all this possible!
A happy and successful year 2018 to all of you!

I'm also looking forward to the creativity of the image processing community, which will contribute to the capabilities of all of us.
Björn's blue sky is a first interesting item to add; thus far, I've obtained similar results only unintentionally, when I worked slightly inaccurately.

In a way, what I did was 'intentionally inaccurate'. I simply increased Jupiter's radii by 200 km when reprojecting the framelets to simple cylindrical projection and also when rendering the images. By doing this I don't lose the fuzzy/hazy limb visible in the original framelets. This requires very accurate pointing information and a very accurate value for the interframe delay, otherwise you 'lose' the blue sky at the southern and/or northern limb or you get incorrect color at the limb.

Posted by: Bjorn Jonsson Jan 3 2018, 10:58 PM

And here are my versions of the PJ10_024 image (North North Temperate Belt) in approximately true color/contrast and in enhanced color, contrast and sharpness. Image PJ10_024 is centered near latitude 40 degrees north; this area has been especially photogenic in the JunoCam images.





These images do not include a bluish/fuzzy/hazy limb because I started working on them before I started my (successful) experiments involving the limb.

The round, bluish feature with the dark centre in frame #24 reminds me of the SL-9 impact scars back in 1994.

In https://britastro.org/sites/default/files/PJ10_JHR-report-Part-1.pdf, John Rogers (BAA) suggested, that these dark patches might be soot as a result of lighting activity in thunderstorms.

Those are stray light artifacts. In fact, not to be a buzzkill, but all of it could be stray light artifacts.

Posted by: Explorer1 Feb 3 2018, 02:33 AM

I can't remember. the rings have already been caught with Junocam, correct? I know there was the star tracker image back on Perijove 1 ( https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA21644 ). At least, they would be something for Junocam to catch now that the perjoves are gradually going into shadow...

Yes, barely. https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing?id=368

It's not the perijoves that are going into shadow, it's the approach side of the planet roughly 180 degrees from perijove. At any rate I don't think the geometry is very favorable for seeing the rings, else they might have been visible in the PJ10 images.

Junocam was never intended to look for things that were very dark.

My take on the rings from PJ3. Includes a few more framelets, so Orion is also visible.

Here is a GIF time-lapse from the PJ10_33 and PJ10_36 images:



The images were obtained about 12 minutes apart. The time-lapse reveals the cyclonic motion of the STB Ghost which is the big feature at and slightly below center.

North is up and the images are in simple cylindrical projection.

https://youtu.be/7c_CyVW9p2Q combines two time-lapse rates at the same time. The overall motion is a zoom-in of the changing perspective along Juno's trajectory over the south polar region. A fast time-lapse is looping over a set of images reprojected to a similar perspective, such that you can perceive feature motion in Jupiter's storm systems.

Towards the end of the movie, there is a rapid change between day and night side. So this might not be recommended for people with epilepsy.

JIRAM data from PJ10 has been released to the PDS this week. I've been working on Io data today, though I need to figure out how to translate the various stats of azimuth in the labels to determine north azimuth angle.

Most prominently is a new volcanic hotspot at 78 S, 317 S that wasn't seen two months earlier by JIRAM during PJ9. This hotspot was last seen in Voyager IRIS data in 1979.

Coincidently, there is a press release about this eruption out now (though they circle a hotspot south of Illyrikon Regio that was seen in PJ9, and I think that was a plume source during New Horizons..., the new hotspot is the one right above the circle in the JPL graphic):

Hi Volcanopele--Very interesting. Could you label the three images as I'm not sure which is from which passage. As you are doing all this new analysis, maybe a good time to update the Gish Bar Times.

Posted by: volcanopele Jul 14 2018, 03:36 PM

Those three are all from PJ10. I made another post in the PJ9 thread for images from that pass.

I’m working on a new post for the Planetary Society where I think I’ll include these.
