Think Tank

Welcome

The JunoCam webpages are designed to open the door to the public to participate in the steps a spacecraft instrument team follows in implementing their experiment: Planning, Discussion, Voting (decision-making) and Processing. We are pleased to add “Think Tank” as the next step in this sequence. Eventually we will add the final endpoint: “Results”.

This section will be a bit more wonky. You are invited to see the science sausage-making in action. There will be links to engineering files that we call kernels. There will be discussion threads on science topics we think can be addressed by particular images. You will see maps that connect features in JunoCam images to the historical record and context.

If you would like to be involved in this group please contact us.

Perijove 12

By Maquet-80 on 2018-04-22 UT

This thread will discuss Perijove-12 images. Perijove 12 was very rewarding: GRS, NN-WS-4, CPCs, FFRs, popup clouds, mesoscale waves, high phase angle observations of hazes, methane band images and an image stack, animations,...
