According to the press conference, all non essential instruments were turned off 5 days ago.

#13NASA is definitely hitting its stride on the PR side, considering the date. Good for them.

Right now, all the instruments are off during this first orbital insertion. The next close pass (Perijove 1), where the closest pictures will be taken, is around late August.

#16Cool! I did note that everybody in their control room is wearing identical grey polos... guess somebody really doesn't want a repeat of the shirt incident.
It's been a traditional at JPL (and other NASA centers) to wear matching polos for quite some time now, at least years, before the Rosetta landing. Not saying that NASA is better than ESA as far as women or PR goes, but this wasn't a reactionary move.

#17This cracks me up! Jupiter's moons were named after Jupiter's mistresses. Juno was his wife..

That shirt is 80s AF \m/ I can see how it might not fly at work though, at least not on a big PR day.

Wow, just noticed that NYP is some sort of hardcore Trump fan vent hole. My apologies. I can't believe they have the nerve to call the shirt "tasteless", though!
