We have taken the Juno trajectory, a magnetic field model (from Krishan Khurana, UCLA) and average location of the main aurora (from Denis Grodent, U. Liege) to show the magnetic environment that Juno will be flying through as well as the locations of the footprints and farthest points along the magnetic field line as Juno moves through Jupiter's magnetic field. We have captured this information on three pages of plots per orbit.
An alpha-test survey page that combines all the following orbit plots can be found here.

Bertrand Bonfond: Northern and Southern main oval images are mean polar maps based on HST/ACS Far-UV images. Satellite footprints are marked with Acronyms. Highlighted features are described in the readme file. The tilt referes to an orientation option which optimizes another instrument.

Single orbit plots: orbits 2 -> 32. Shown is the z component of the magnetic coordinates vs rho, the cylindrical radius. Each hour for the first +/- 10 hrs of perijove is marked, as well as, every +/- 10 hrs after. | Viewhere... |

32 orbit animation: each frame represents a single orbit of the Juno space craft, starting with orbit 2 and ending with orbit 32. Plotted is the z component of the magnetic coordinates vs rho, the cylindrical radius. The color precesses with orbit number. | Download MP4 file here... |

Stan Cowley provides a set of plots based on an axisymmetric magnetic field and current sheet (Cowley et al., Ann. Geophys., 26, 4051-4074, 2008). Page 1: Trajectory plot - Shows model field lines in a magnetic meridian plane with the spacecraft trajectory (red) superposed. The upper portion of the trajectory is inbound in each plot, the lower portion is outbound. Blue circles on the trajectory show the start of each (Earth) day, with the start of ‘periapsis day’ being numbered with the DOY. Red circles show 2 h intervals between, with larger circles being shown every 6 h. The black circle close to the planet shows the position of periapsis, while the two black circles either side show periapsis plus and minus 4 h.
Page 2 & 3: Perijove parameter plot - Pages 2 and 3 show selected field and plasma parameters versus time for each perijove pass. Each Page 3 shows blown-up versions of the plots of the azimuthal sweep-back field and local field- aligned current density, as in (e) and (f) from the readme file, so that the details may more readily be seen.
Page 4: Whole-orbit parameter plots: Shows model field parameters versus time over essentially the whole of each orbit, specifically for 120 hours (5 days) on either side of periapsis - explainations of the parameters can be found in the readme file... |
