ESA's Juice mission
@ESA_JUICE16 May 2023
🆕🧲Did you know that #ESAJuice carries a special magnetometer, J-MAG, to measure the magnetic fields of #Jupiter and Ganymede, and study the icy moons' hidden oceans? J-MAG has now been rigorously tested and is ready to fulfil its mission! 📈esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Image…
A graph with magnetic field in nT on the y-axis and time in UTC on the x-axis. Three lines, one above the other, trace the data collected by three different sensors on Juice's magnetometer boom. The lines are very squiggly and all follow the same pattern.
