Acum se afla in faza de captura.

>>A more detailed Plan for Juno&#8217;s Capture Orbits
JunoCam will be tasked with collecting hundreds of frames to assemble a second approach movie. Because all instruments had to be shut down for orbital insertion, JunoCam&#8217;s first approach movie could only show the far-field approach with a small Jupiter in the center and its four Galilean moons in a cosmic dance around it.
Heading in from eight million Kilometers, JunoCam will show Jupiter growing significantly in size as the spacecraft approaches, delivering the first detailed images of the planet&#8217;s north pole. Due to the close range of the approach, not all of the Galilean moons will be appearing in the image sequence.

It is noteworthy that this represents the mission&#8217;s only chance of capturing this type of approach sequence since JunoCam and all other instruments will again be shut down during the second Capture Orbit for the critical Period Reduction Maneuver.

Juno&#8217;s first low pass with all instruments running is set for August 27 with a time of closest approach estimated at 12:51 UTC SCET and a perijove altitude of 4,150 Kilometers.
