Re: Juno's Arrival
Juno has completed pass 10/14. After 14 they'll review how well its still functioning and hopefully apply for a mission extension. NASA wanted 36 passes originally before they decided to not risk activating its engine and take things slower. So far so good, anyway, the "titanium bucket" is shielding the computers well and the instruments are holding up. We haven't seen defects on junocam yet, which surprises me. Most important will be the solar panels though. They're its only power source, and must be getting cooked the worst. If those go bad, they'll have to command the engines and dump while they still can.
