I understand JunoCam is a public outreach tool. But if it provides much worse resolution than Hubble from inside Jupiter's orbit, it's basically useless even for that.
I don't know if the cam is the problem or the transmission bandwidth, one thing is clear, when serios science starts there will be much less bandwidth available to send sharp and cool photos.<p>That's what you get from a solar powered probe. We waste billions of dollars and unique opportunities because some people have gotten in their minds that RTG power is evil and dangerous. NASA even canceled the ASRG, based on the Stirling engine, which was 5 times more efficient in terms of radioactive material and would have allowed powering probes for the whole solar system. Imagine a Pluto rover !
