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.
Tools of the trade
Hello and welcome! Below are some of the Tools of the trade used for working with JunoCam image data.
Images taken through the narrow-band methane filter show high altitude hazes and other interesting structure that gives us a 3-dimensional picture of Jupiter's cloudtops.
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,...
At PJ13, as at PJ11, the spacecraft was pointed towards the Sun and Earth so the images of low latitudes were oblique. They included panoramic views of several interesting features.
On PJ14 the spacecraft orbit continues its evolution, bringing the subspacecraft latitude at perijove northward and the subs/c longitude closer to the subsolar longitude
