| Abstract | One major task carried out in recent years in the framework of the JUICE mission concerned the level-0 analysis (so-called “segmentation”) related to different mission phases, covering both the Jupiter tour and the dedicated orbit around Ganymede. In the latter case, and focusing on the surface, the scope of this analysis is to identify time segments corresponding to opportunities to observe specific regions of interest by means of remote sensing instruments. Here we focus on JANUS and MAJIS, respectively the framing camera and the visible and infrared imaging spectrometer on board JUICE, to evaluate the frequency of these observation opportunities based on the latest list of regions of interest of Ganymede and on a specific reference trajectory. We perform a similar analysis for Callisto, based on the flybys that will be carried out by JUICE before entering orbit around Ganymede. The level-0 analysis is the foundation on which, in the years to come, a level-1 analysis will be built, i.e. a real observational timeline that takes into account the instrumental and system resources. An early identification of unique or hardly-repeatable segments is key to prioritize the opportunities, which helps emphasizing any complementarities and/or synergies between different instruments and thus pushing for robust scientific cases. |
