Abstract:
This paper describes the initial plans for the New Frontiers Juno mission at
Jupiter. It includes the considerable contingency planning for mission recovery
if the Jupiter Orbit Insertion (JOI) burn to place Juno into a large capture orbit
were interrupted or terminated on a burn timer setting, and the options for the
mission if the Period Reduction Maneuver (PRM) burn to achieve the final orbit
period were terminated early. The analyses were based on the assumption that
14-day orbits were the desired operational orbit period.
