A new JUICE baseline trajectory (CReMA 5.0b23.1) is published - launch on 5 April 2023. Earlier, August 2023 was mentioned as back-up launch date. By the way, is there an easy and convenient way to read or visualize Orbit kernels?

.. By the way, is there an easy and convenient way to read or visualize Orbit kernels? A relatively easy way to produce plots and tables is the ESA WebGeocalc web page. The above plot of distance to Jupiter was produced by first selecting "juice_crema_5_0b23_1" kernel set from the pulldown, and entering the below settings in the GUI. CODE Target type Object Target JUPITER Observer type Object Observer JUICE Reference frame IAU_JUPITER Light propagation No correction Time system UTC Time format Calendar date and time Time range 2023-05-01 to 2031-08-01 Step 200 equal intervals State representation Rectangular Note: The IAU_JUPITER (rotating) Reference Frame isn't isn't a good choice for plotting positions. Using JUPITER_SUN_ORB (of which I haven't looked up the definition) for the Reference Frame, and plotting the X,Y positions (from downloaded CSV table) looks like: |
