3GM_JUPITER_OCCULTATION
3GM_JUPITER_OCCULTATION
The radio science experiment 3GM, with its 1-way dual-frequency radio links (X and Ka-band) referenced to an ultrastable oscillator (USO), is performed as JUICE spacecraft moves in and out of occultation. Occultations occur throughout the jovian tour, but their phasing is not always synchronized with the timing of dedicated Jupiter observations by the other orbiter experiments. USO unmuted, HAA in nominal SCIENCE.

USO should be ON and scheduled in the background (TO BE SCHEDULED BY SOC AT PLANNING SET-UP). HAA should be in CONFIGURATION mode and scheduled in the background (TO BE SCHEDULED BY SOC AT PLANNING SET-UP). If HAA is OFF, HAA needs to be ON at least 48hours before measurement starts. Latitudes should be repeated at regular intervals to characterize evolution of wave phenomena and middle-atmospheric temperatures. Occultation observations are event-driven and defined by the Earth-SC line reaching the '1-bar level plus 1000 km'. Note that the occultation event shall include a 1-hour margin at the beginning and at the end to serve as a baseline for radiometric measurements. Note that USO UNMUTE command should be 4 hours before the start of the occultation event. This observation should be preceded by 3GM_HAA_SELF_CALIBRATION 1 hour before the start of the occultation event.
any rule that is used to schedule the observation: repetition rules, continuous (plasma instruments), one-off, every orbit, every day, etc
