JIRAM mirror is stuck?[edit]

Astronomy professor Jason Perry at LCC, one of the scientists who are working with Juno data (specifically the JIRAM instrument) has mentioned yesterday – in passing – that the instrument's mirror is stuck.^[1] I cannot find anything about this in either the present article, or in Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper. A quick Google search also yields nothing. If the instrument is indeed damaged, I think that should be mentioned in the article!

Well, this study focused primarily on the M-band data from JIRAM, but yes, I did also measure L-band spectral radiances, so that's a path forward. Juno JIRAM, despite its stuck mirror, is still acquiring data at Io, and at Io's poles" (Tweet). Retrieved 14 November 2023 – via Twitter.
