I just read the blog posting on the instrumenta over on the Planetary Society website. Nine instruments on this mission. Wow. I know it is considered a Flagship mission, but with all the talk of trying to keep mission costs down I expected a bit smaller payload.
Not that I am complaining. The item that really caught my eye was the EIS (Europa Imaging System). - Near global coverage at 50 meters per pixel, and selected areas up to 100 times higher. - My back of the envelope math comes out to highest resolution images being a half meter per pixel. Very nice. |
