After processor modules initialization, the Boot software goes to STANDBY mode. By default, the ASW Image0 (stored in MRAM0 = ASM0) is autonomously loaded after a timeout of 30 seconds. MAJIS then enters into ASW init Mode and then into SAFE mode.
In STANDBY Mode, all channels are off, and only DPU HK SID1 are received.
MAJIS needs to be maintained in STANDBY mode using the TC(17,1) in the following cases :
- upload (using service 6) of new ASW images (or CUSW, or firmware) into MRAM: FCP-MAJ-070 describes the maintenance process.
- upload a new BROWSE Table FCP-MAJ-060 into MRAM
- select ASW Image1 and then start ASW Image 1 instead of teh default ASW Image0. FCP-MAJ-062
- any other update of MRAM using service 6 | MAJIS |

Duration: less than 5min | MAJIS |
MAJ_Ring_Occultation | Observation of a star occulted by the rings
Scan windowing of 9 lines centered on the star (1 scan step = 1/3 MAJIS IFOV) possible
Pointing: Inertial. For each occultation, transit of TBD min
Satellite orientation: Inertial pointing of the S/C towards the position of the star to maintain MAJIS slit fixed on it. These occultation observations need to be consolidated in the future (star atlas, signal, Tint, S/C inertial capabilities). Scan mirror can be used to mitigate APE drift | MAJIS |

MAJ_JUP_STELLAR_OCC | MAJIS will acquire several “subcubes” (number depends upon planet's speed over the sky) around the (fixed) star position, at different angular distances between the star and the planet's limb during the ingress/egress.
Each sub-cube spans over several lines (around 6, less if S/C capability allows it) to compensate for possible pointing inaccuracies.
Bright far moons can be used instead of stars as sources to decrease the repetition integration (and therefore spatial sampling) as the orbital velocity ranges from ~ 5 km/s at apojove to ~ 13 km/s at perijove
satellite orientation: LIMB TANGENT (preferred, otherwise VERTICAL), to minimize straylight
duration:
About 10min
66 sec (max) for each subcube. Time interval between sub-cubes as small as possible for better vertical coverage. Total number of cubes depends upon relative angular speed between star and limb. | MAJIS |
MAJ_JUP_LIMB_SLEW | The scan the atmosphere of Jupiter over the limb up to 3000k is performed with a specific slew of the S/C
Individual lines are largely overlapped to provide actual supersampling (x 10) in the spatial domain and allow sub-pixel resolution by deconvolution.
Typically, we have cubes of about 300 lines by 50 pixels (~7500 km)
Pointing type:
OFF-NADIR (nominal pointing position over the Jupiter limb), continuous tracking (‘track tangent limb’)
satellite orientation:LIMB TANGENT (MAJIS slit tangent to the limb), very slow s/c slew to get oversampling (10 lines corresponding to one pixel IFOV)
Duration: 55 min for each cube (300 lines) | MAJIS |
MAJ_JUP_LIMB_SCAN | The MAJIS pointing mirror is used to scan the atmosphere of Jupiter over the limb up to 1500km. Exposure times are optimized for weak limb emissions.
The scan mirror step of 1/10 MAJIS IFOV shall constrain the spatial sampling provides a spatial supersampling adequate to reconstruct, by deconvolution, the signal vertical profile at sub-pixel scale.
Observations consists in sets of max. 8 cubes at different latitudes, around the limb of the planet.
Duration: Typically 20 min for each cube (110 lines), assuming 11 s per line | MAJIS |
MAJ_JUP_HIGH_FREQ_MONITORING | The observing type is designed to study the evolution of atmospheric features at high temporal frequency as well as to map specific atmospheric features at regional scale.
Scanning of features on the Jovian disc, on dayside as well as on nightside, with limited latitudinal coverage.
MAJIS will acquire one or more several “subcubes” with a limited number of lines (about between 64 and 160)
Duration: between 84 and 315 s for each cube, assuming 2.1 s per line | MAJIS |
MAJ_JUP_EVENT_MONITORING | Study of the evolution of unusual phenomena in Jupiter atmosphere, especially in their zonal evolution MAJIS will acquire several “subcubes” with limited number of lines (about 80) as follows:
1. a series of sub-cubes (from 1 to 4) is acquired with the scan mirror to get the coverage of a limited latitude region at all longitudes on the visible side of the planet. Satellite is re-pointed before acquiring each sub-cube
2. the series at previous point is repeated at fixed time intervals (in the order of 1 h, TBC) to monitor the temporal evolution.
Pointing type: YS, Series of OFF-NADIR pointings (‘off-nadir scan mode’)
satellite orientation: HORIZONTAL
Duration:
160 sec for each sub-cube.
Time between series defines actual temporal sampling and is variable (zero data rate here).
Total duration about 5 h (1/2 of rotation period) | MAJIS |
MAJ_JUP_DISK_SLEW | Observations of Jupiter clouds and spectroscopy of minor gases.
Scanning the instrument slit over Jovian disk (vertical direction) by means of the S/C slew. aims to cover the entire equatorial region (-30°:+30°)
Pointing: OFF_NADIR, CONTINUOUS SLEW (« continuous S/C scan »)
Satellite orientation: HORIZONTAL
Duration: 20 min per cube | MAJIS |
MAJ_JUP_DISK_SCAN | Observations of Jupiter clouds and spectroscopy of minor gases.
Scanning the instrument slit over Jovian disk (vertical direction) by means of internal pointing mirror, both dayside and nightside. Aims to cover at least the entire equatorial region (-30°:+30°) during low inclination phases and the polar regions during high inclination phase.
Duration: typically 20min/cube, max 30 min/cube, assuming 2.1 s per line | MAJIS |
MAJ_JUP_DISK_MOSAIC | A series of several MAJIS_JUP_DISK_SCAN or MAJIS_JUP_DISK_SLEW
Spacecraft has to be re-pointed between individual acquisitions.
POinting type: YS, NADIR with offset around Y (‘ nadir offset MAJIS scan’’)
satellite orientation: HORIZONTAL (preferred)
Duration:
3 x (scan-duration + turnaround Y duration). Scan duration from 20 to 40 min depending on the distance from Jupiter. Turnaround ~50 min | MAJIS |
MAJ_JUP_AURORAL_MAPPING | Jupiter Auroral Mapping
Scanning of the instrument slit over Jovian polar regions, from polar limb to approx. 50°N/S latitudes, with exposure times optimized for weak auroral emissions.
Note: similar to MAJIS_JUP_DISK_SCAN but for high latitudes during high inclination phase
Duration: typically, 40 min (200 lines <-> typical size of latitudes where polar ovals are observed) | MAJIS |
MAJ_JovianRING_MOSAIC | Mosaicking the 2 ring ansa from 90000 to 230000 km. 3 overlapping cubes of 20 vertical lines performed by the scanner (or S/Cslew if compatible with JANUS). This requires re-pointing between individual cubes.
Pointing: OFF-NADIR, S/C pointing projected ring plane, S/C depointing required for the two ansa
Satellite orientation: Maintaining the horizontal orientation of MAJIS slit, MAJIS scan mode activated for vertical sampling (20 vertical lines) centered on the rings, S/C depointing required for mosaicking each ansa (3 overlapping cubes to perform a radial mosaic of one ansa of the rings with radial distance from 90000 to 230000 km)
Duration: 1200 sec (excluding the S/C repointings) | MAJIS |
MAJ_ICU | To monitor the radiometric performances of MAJIS using VISNIR and IR sources Specifically, there are several goals
A) tracking the evolution of the actual levels (before subtracting for CDS) in the digital dynamics (0-65535 at 100 kHz, 0-4095 at 1 MHz). Such an evolution could lead to adjust an offset which can be selected by TC (4 settings) so as to avoid reaching digital saturation for the read image before analog saturation.
B) tracking the evolution of the dark current and cosmetics (new hot / dead pixels)
C) tracking the evolution of the overall photometric response as a function of the signal (needed for the pipeline)
Pointing: MAJIS scan mirror oriented towards the ICU (8.5°)
Satellite orientation: Deep space
Duration: 10min | MAJIS |
