Juno's JunoCam imager suffered a similar problem last month as well.
at the time. Juno bounced back smoothly and most of the data reached Earth safely, but JunoCam struggled early in the flyby.
The camera had been directed to capture 90 images during the December flyby, but the first four photos turned out badly. The mission team determined that when JunoCam turned on, temperatures rose enough to interfere with photography and the instrument had cooled off by the end of those first four images.
But now, the issue seems to have recurred, this time for longer — 23 hours rather than 36 minutes, according to NASA. This time, the glitch left 214 images unusable, with only 44 decent images returned after the instrument cooled sufficiently. "The mission team is evaluating JunoCam engineering data acquired during the two recent flybys — the 47th and 48th of the mission — and is investigating the root cause of the anomaly and mitigation strategies," NASA officials wrote."JunoCam will remain powered on for the time being and the camera continues to operate in its nominal state."
