JUICE-Clipper science workshop part 2
Convener: Olivier Witasse
Mon, 16 Sep, 15:30–17:00
 
Pluto (Room 13)

The JUICE and Clipper teams host a second workshop to discuss the status of both missions (including their trajectory updates), to share information on science plans and capability of both missions, and to identify synergistic investigations and collaborations. One key question is to understand how the science of interest if both missions are in the Jupiter system at the same time and how we can best leverage the science investigations if the missions are not in the Jupiter System at the same time. We expect specific talks and discussions to cover the following topics:
- Callisto science, including magnetic induction, gravity, and surface remote sensing;
- Complementary remote-sensing and in-situ observations of Europa’s surface, atmosphere, any plumes, and space environment;
- Spacecraft Impact at the end of either mission (e.g. one spacecraft monitoring the other as it impacts onto Ganymede);
- Improving the ephemerides of the Galilean satellites to constrain orbital evolution and tidal heating.
- Monitoring of Jupiter’s auroral activity by one spacecraft while the other makes remote-sensing and/or in-situ observations at one of the moons.
Other discussion topics are obviously possible.

Key questions are to understand how the science of interest if both missions are in the Jupiter system at the same time and how we can best leverage the science investigations if the missions are not in the Jupiter system at the same time.
Workshop topics:
• Introduction, JUICE and Europa Clipper projects status reports, updated Europa Clipper trajectory, discussion
• Improving the ephemerides of Jupiter moons, JUICE-Clipper synergies
• Spacecraft impact at the end of either mission: potential science
• Potential joint JUICE-Europa Clipper Callisto science
• Discussion, wrap-up

The workshop is open to all JUICE and Europa Clipper science team members.
