Plot of Equations (66)–(67), in mas yr−1, calculated for the polar orbital configuration of Equations (53)–(54) with the condition of Equation (73), as functions of the apocenter height h apo for a fixed value of the pericenter height h peri = 4200 km. The dashed vertical line corresponds to h apo = 3.2 × 106 km, which was the originally planned apocenter height of Juno before the problems encountered by its propulsion system.
