SWI_MOON_LIMB_SCAN_PS_V1
SWI MOON LIMB SCAN PS V1
Investigation of Galilean Moons’ atmospheric composition, temperature,
and winds. Flyby: The atmospheric limb is rapidly scanned to achieve 5km vertical resolution.
Two CTS spectra are recorded for 1.5 sec over 210 channels (16 bits coding). GCO: The
atmospheric limb is scanned up and down rapidly with 10 km altitude steps and with 1.5 sec integration
time for two CTS spectra over 130 channels (16 bits coding). Position-switch calibration
method.

Scheduling: This mode will be used during phases I and III of the
flybys, between -3hrs to -1hr and between +1hr to +3hrs from CA. During GCO-500,
this mode will be used continuously for 5 orbits (i.e. 16-hrs) and then cycled equally with
SWI MOON LIMB STARE PS, SWI MOON NADIR STARE PS, and SWI 2D MAP PS.
any rule that is used to schedule the observation: repetition rules, continuous (plasma instruments), one-off, every orbit, every day, etc
TBD
conditions that make the observation not possible (e.g. thruster firing)
