Juno

    At last, Juno on a 1.2m dish made possible as it was caught when the Doppler change was 0.08Hz/sec allowing a BW of 0.4Hz and 8x averaging. 898.6Mkm from Earth.

    Not on DSN at the time but -136dBm DSS65 22kBd the following day.

    21.4MHz = 8401.21599MHz

    200Mkm closer than the last time I looked, now at 679.4Mkm. The Doppler rate is higher so I had to reduce the averaging a little. Not locked to an Earth station at the time of capture.

    At 743.2Mkm, talking to Goldstone. The Doppler variation was around -1Hz/sec so that limits the minimum usable bandwidth.
