| Summary: | This addon contains the NASA New Frontiers spacecraft Juno, from launch in 2011 to jovian athmosphere entry in 2018. |
| Description: | This addon includes the xyzv-trajectorys of Juno in solar and jovian orbit and a textured 3D-model. Juno is refered to Jupiter in the solar system browser. Update (Vers. 1.1): Oct. 2016 Updated xyzv trajectory for longer 14-days-orbits and longer lifetime. Update provided by Austin. Spacecraft is displayed rotating, while solar arrays always face the sun. CMOD model featuring normal- and specular effects. Update (Vers. 2.0): April 2017 The timeline spans over the complete mission from launch in 2011 to jovian atmosphere entry in 2021. Juno spacecraft is shown spinning and solar arrays always facing the sun. The model also features normal and specular effects. Trajectory updated a second time (March 2017) after NASA's change in plans for the orbital phase featuring longer orbits and overall lifetime. Juno is sheduled to remain in its current 53 day orbit for the rest of the mission, carefully avoiding Jupiter's shadow and finally plunging into its atmosphere by minuscule orbit maneuvers. Trajectory update provided by Austin. |

Note: NASA has changed its plans for the orbit phase: Juno will enter in a longer 14-day orbit (to stay operative longer), so the trajectory is no longer accurate. I might update this addon later, maybe if I can be sure the trajectory is final.
