Juno dual-mode propulsion subsystem
NASA/JPL documents Juno's integrated dual-mode propulsion subsystem as a 645 N LEROS-1B bipropellant main engine using hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide plus twelve monopropellant hydrazine reaction-control thrusters. The main engine supports major maneuvers and flushing burns; the reaction-control thrusters allow translation and rotation around three axes and support most trajectory-correction maneuvers.
