Io flyby coming up in a couple of hours. C/A distance is 22,241 km. Will cover the same region that we've seen of late, the northern trailing hemisphere. Might see the Prometheus plume just pass the terminator in the early images.
Ground track map for this flyby and later encounters: -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

That's excellent how the four general track locations cover different terrain. I'm sure that the resolution is not near the par of any planned dedication Io mission, but this is still a pretty solid Io mission in its own right. And the radio science and magnetometer data is also potentially excellent. This shapes up as one of the most exciting opportunistic mission extensions there's been. Just make it through 7 more orbits, Juno!

The plume you've all noticed near the terminator is Prometheus...

The one almost exactly at the 6 o'clock position, a bit far from the sun-lit portions, visible if you crank the brightness way up?

For the curious, currently working on a control network. Seems to need one big one for as many images I can add within reason...

Data dump time!
PJ53_animatedgif.mp4 ( 2.96MB ) Number of downloads: 468 Not sure if this attachment will work, but this is an mp4 animation of 12 of the Io images. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

Gerald (or anyone) what did you get for start time offset on PJ53_165? I got 0.2463 second.
Also, Gerald I concur that PJ53_165 is showing an occultation of Io by Jupiter. The following 5x enlarged image shows markings on limbs on raw data of blue filter for which occultation is most progressed. Will be interesting to see where Jupiter limb moves after we get reconstructed SPK. |

There was a new CK delivery late in the week. Not sure if that would help with limb fitting for you. I'm using ISIS's jigsaw for correcting Io's position and orientation so the exact file I use doesn't really matter...

Thanks for posting these great images - I particularly enjoyed the animation sequence. I have a couple of questions about the Prometheus plume. Is it visible here because the top of it rises up into sunlight or for some other reason? Does it erupt continuously or was this sighting just a lucky chance?

With the V02 CK file, time offset (from visual limb fit to Io) is only -0.01246 sec. Scaled 5x raw data with limb markings: |
