Empowering researchers with comprehensive data access for ESA’s Juice Mission

With the begining of Juice’s cruise phase, the first datasets of the nominal mission are expected in 2031. A need for an integrated and user-friendly data environment to support the research community and their analysis efforts was identified a few years ago. In response to this demand, we have purposefully crafted an expansive data environment tailored explicitly for the Juice mission. This environment is designed to streamline and enhance the research process by offering researchers a centralized platform containing a wealth of information. Our platform complements the PSA by enabling access to project auxiliary data, as inferred from the document management system, a living archive of project documentation, and access to mission tools. In more detail, it encompasses information regarding details about the spacecraft itself, such as trajectory, instrumentation, and 3D models. Moreover, it provides technical data and specifications necessary for researchers to effectively interpret the mission’s observations. It also houses valuable information on the scientific aspects of the Juice mission, such as workshop presentations, the latest published papers, or relevant databases. By providing comprehensive, easily accessible information, we aim to empower researchers within the scientific community to conduct in-depth analysis and gain valuable insights from the wealth of data generated by the Juice mission.
