This is something I've been thinking about over the last few days and I'd like to post it here for discussion.
I got an idea for a Jupiter probe, which I term the Jupiter Distant Orbiter. The instrument fit is primarily particles and fields, with the objective being to map the radiation belts/magnetic field from outside the orbit of Callisto. The probe would also be fitted with a 'HiRISE - style' camera to enable photography of the moons/Jupiter. The orbit used would be one that is highly inclined so that the probe is never occluded by Jupiter itself. Comments? |
