I've oversimplified by saying "stationed in a higher orbit." It doesn't seem like they've finalized their plans yet, but they seem to prefer placing it in orbit about the 2nd Lagrangian point (about 1.5 million km from earth). That would significantly reduce its exposure to radiation from the earth, but doesn't get it away from the "interior" of the solar system, or anywhere near Jupiter.

Perhaps you're referring to earlier, more ambitious plans that I'm not aware of?
