- upload a new BROWSE Table FCP-MAJ-060 into MRAM

Duration:400 sec (excluding the S/C repointing to the other ansae) | MAJIS |
|---|
| MAJ_MainRING _HighPhase | Observations of the main rings (2 ansa) at high phase (forward scattering light), no tracking of azimuthal structure, no spatial binning to increase spatial resolution.
Pointing: OFF-NADIR, S/C pointing centered on the extremity of main rings, S/C depointing required for the two ansa
Satellite orientation: Maintaining the MAJIS slit parallel to radial axis of main rings, MAJIS scan mode activated for vertical sampling (20 vertical lines) centered on the rings
Duration: 400 sec (excluding the S/C repointing to the other ansae) | 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 |
