Great news for magnetometer fans @IC_SpaceAtmos
🆕🧲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!

We’re pleased to share a first taste of #ESAJuice science data! 🤩
The magnetometer boom (J-MAG) recorded the change in magnetic field as it deployed.
J-MAG will help characterise Jupiter & Ganymede's magnetic fields, and the moons' oceans.

ALT A graph with magnetic field in nT on the y-axis and time in UTC on the x-axis. Two lines trace the data collected by two different sensors on the magnetometer boom. The lines are horizontal and one above the other in the first instance, before deployment of the boom. During and after the deployment the lines meet and trend towards zero.
