I really hope the main antenna on this one works. Cassini would have been much neater (not that it wasn’t already) had the main dish deployed properly.

Not Cassini, Galileo. Wrong astronomer.

You’re thinking of Galileo, but in either case the main dish on Juno does not deploy — it is a large, permanent structure on the spacecraft. Telemetry has already been returned, the solar panels have deployed, and the spacecraft is working nominally as of this morning.
