More detailed information on the instruments:
http://sci.esa.int/science-e/www/object/in...fobjectid=50073 In particular, the camera (JANUS) has a field of view of 1.3 degrees and carries 13 filters. This is a bigger field of view than the 0.3 degrees discussed earlier in this thread but the size in pixels is not shown (I'd love to see more detailed information on the camera specs). 2048x2048 wouldn't surprise me and would result in a resolution comparable to the Galileo camera. There's no mention of a wide angle camera and there's no information on whether pushbroom imaging is possible. One good thing about 1.3° vs. 0.3° is that global scale mosaics of Jupiter would have been a problem with a 0.3° FOV (huge number frames). MAJIS is also a very interesting instrument - a hyperspectral imager from 0.4 to 5.7 microns with a top resolution of ~100 km for Jupiter and 25 m for Ganymede. |
