Camera Junonakam from a spaceship June from POT did not capture most of the images expected during the last flyby Jupiter January 22.

Data from the spacecraft indicates that the camera experienced a problem similar to that experienced during the previous flyby of the gas giant last month, when the team observed an anomalous increase in temperature after turning on the camera to prepare for the flyby.

However, in this new case, the problem persisted longer (23 hours compared to 36 minutes for the December close pass), causing the first 214 images to become unusable. Junonakam flight is planned. As in the previous case, after the anomaly that caused the temperature increase disappeared, the camera returned to normal operation, and the remaining 44 images were of good quality and usable.

What will NASA do?

The mission team evaluates engineering data from Junonakam obtained during the last two flybys – the 47th and 48th missions – and investigates the root cause of the anomaly and mitigation strategies. The JunoCam will remain powered on for the time being and the camera will continue to function in its nominal state. POT this is a statement.

Junonakam is a visible light color camera designed to capture images of cloud tops in Jupiter. It was included in the spacecraft specifically to attract the public, but proved to be important for scientific research as well. The chamber was originally designed to operate in high energy particle environments. Jupiter at least seven turns, but lasted much longer.

The ship will make its 49th flyby Jupiter March 1.
