The magnetosphere of Jupiter is the cavity created in the solar wind by Jupiter's magnetic field.Extending up to seven million kilometers in the Sun's direction and almost to the orbit of Saturn in the opposite direction, Jupiter's magnetosphere is the largest and most powerful of any planetary magnetosphere in the Solar System, and by volume the largest known continuous structure in the Solar ...
Magnetometer (MAG) is an instrument suite on the Juno orbiter for planet Jupiter. [1] The MAG instrument includes both the Fluxgate Magnetometer (FGM) and Advanced Stellar Compass (ASC) instruments. [1] There two sets of MAG instrument suites, and they are both positioned on the far end of three solar panel array booms.
Magnetosphere. A rendering of the magnetic field lines of the magnetosphere of the Earth. In astronomy and planetary science, a magnetosphere is a region of space surrounding an astronomical object in which charged particles are affected by that object's magnetic field. [1][2] It is created by a celestial body with an active interior dynamo.
Surrounding Jupiter's magnetosphere is a magnetopause, located at the inner edge of a magnetosheath—a region between it and the bow shock. The solar wind interacts with these regions, elongating the magnetosphere on Jupiter's lee side and extending it outward until it nearly reaches the orbit of Saturn. The four largest moons of Jupiter all ...
Waves is an experiment on the Juno spacecraft for studying radio and plasma waves. [1] [2] It is part of a collection of various types of instruments and experiments on the spacecraft; Waves is oriented towards understanding fields and particles in the Jupiter's magnetosphere. [2] Waves is on board the uncrewed Juno spacecraft, which was ...
English: Juno Captures the "Roar" of Jupiter NASA's Juno spacecraft has crossed the boundary of Jupiter's immense magnetic field. Juno's Waves instrument recorded the encounter with the bow shock over the course of about two hours on June 24, 2016. "Bow shock" is where the supersonic solar wind is heated and slowed by Jupiter's magnetosphere.
2029 (proposed) The Jupiter Magnetospheric Orbiter (木星磁気圏オービター, JMO) is a cancelled space probe proposed by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), to undertake detailed in situ studies of the magnetosphere of Jupiter as a template for an astrophysical magnetised disk.
Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper ( JIRAM) is an instrument on the Juno spacecraft in orbit of the planet Jupiter. It is an image spectrometer and was contributed by Italy. [1] Similar instruments are on ESA Rosetta, Venus Express, and Cassini-Huygens missions. [1] The primary goal of JIRAM is to probe the upper layers of Jupiter's atmosphere down ...
