This will be the first time we open up the complete perijove pass for images you select. BE SURE if you have a candidate that you have entered a POI for it! We go by votes, not by sites suggested in the comments. On every pass we will take an image of the north pole and an image of the south pole. The rest are up to you! The spacecraft orientation is what we call "MWR-nadir". It is optimized for the MicroWave Radiometer instrument so the effect is to point JunoCam at the groundtrack below the spacecraft, not offset to the side.

Winner Selection

The votes are in! We will be able to image the top 10 in the priority set by your votes. In addition we will pick up 5 others because they are close in latitude to the top vote-getters. This assumes of course that the we have done a good job in predicting the wind speed at each latitude, and where the points of interest will be. Our top vote recipient, Oval BA, is right on the edge of where we predict we will be able to image, so we have our fingers crossed that we will get that one.



We started the process of generating image commands as soon as the voting closed. We looked first at the predictions of what time an image would need to be taken to get a particular POI. We have constraints on how closely together we can take images, because an image must be moved from the camera to the spacecraft computer before we take the next one. That means if targets are closer together in time than 90 sec we combined them. We took the time that corresponded to the higher priority target, but we will get the other POI's in the image.



We then started planning images in priority order until we used up all the available data volume.



The list of POI’s we will image in order of the votes they received is as follows, with the “+” indicating targets we combined:

Oval BA

Structure01 + Outbreak!

The big red stripe v2

Turbulence + Hotspot

The wonderful south pole

Dark spot in turbulence + White spot Z + Band transition

North pole on Jupiter + Darker skies

Cap of Jupiter

Dark spot

Jovian antarctica



These images will be available after we get "C kernels" which is a file with the spacecraft orientation as a function of time. This data is necessary for us to process the data before we put it on the website. It takes two days for us to get that data from the navigation team. Since that is a Saturday we will begin running the data through our pipeline on Monday.
