| UVS_IO_TORUS_STARE | Monitor emissions from the Io torus. Slit aligned parallel with Jupiter's equator. | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_SAT_TRANSIT | Measure absorption of Jupiter airglow by satellite atmospheres as they transit Jupiter's disk, to constrain satellite atmospheric composition and variability.
Pointing: nadir (Point slit N-S on Jupiter's disk and wait for moon to transit) | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_IO_TORUS_SCAN | Map emissions from the Io torus. Slit aligned parallel with Jupiter's rotation pole, scanned E-W across the torus | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_IO_TORUS_SCAN | Map emissions from the Io torus. Slit aligned parallel with Jupiter's equator, scanned N-S across one ansa of the torus, then move in four steps to the other ansa, repeating the N-S motion each time | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_GCO_HP | High spatial resolution observations of Ganymede's aurora to look for small scale features | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_CALIBRATION | Generic calibration observation - may include star stare, flip ridealong, or dark/radiation observations. Data rate is an estimated average. | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_JUP_AP_STELL_OCC | For moderately bright stars. Stars serve as a point source to provide good vertical resolution on Jupiter’s atmosphere. The field of view is pointed to a given RA and DEC and pointing held for an extended amount of time. The majority of the data can be omitted except for that of the star on the detector, so these can be done within a good data budget. Full spectral coverage. Note: Here, “moderate, histogram modeâ€, but pixellist or histogram mode low or high possible. | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_JUP_HP_STELL_OCC | For bright stars, use the High spatial resolution port (HP) for higher contrast of star signal to Jupiter background signal. Used also as calibration reference standards. | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_JUP_DEFAULT | default pointing to be inserted at the start and end of the timeline | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_SAT_DISK_SCAN_HP | Construct spectral image cubes of multiple atmospheric emission line features (up to 1024 selectable spectral bins with a minimum of 3 key emissions: H Lya, OI 130.4 nm, OI 135.6 nm), with repeated scans to investigate highly time-variable auroral dynamics. | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_SAT_DISK_SCAN_AP | Construct spectral image cubes of multiple atmospheric emission line features (up to 1024 selectable spectral bins with a minimum of 3 key emissions: H Lya, OI 130.4 nm, OI 135.6 nm), with repeated scans to investigate highly time-variable auroral dynamics. | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_NC_STARE | Characterize the Io/Europa neutral clouds in the immediate vicinity of the satellite. Center satellite in slit. Align the slit with the satellite orbital plane | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_SAT_SURF_HP | As UVS_SAT_SURF_AP but using the high resolution port for improved spatial resolution in key surface regions | UVS |
|---|
| UVS_JUP_MONITORING_HP | As above, more of an auroral focus. 2-hour observations fit in between the AP monitoring observations | UVS |
