Planetary Radio Interferometry and Doppler Experiment (PRIDE) of the JUICE mission
Leonid I. Gurvits, Giuseppe Cimo, Dominic Dirkx +20
Planetary Radio Interferometry and Doppler Experiment (PRIDE) is a multi-purpose experimental technique aimed at enhancing the science return of planetary missions. The technique e…
Decoupled and coupled moons' ephemerides estimation strategies -- Application to the JUICE mission
M. Fayolle, D. Dirkx, V. Lainey +2
When reconstructing natural satellites' ephemerides from space missions' tracking data, the dynamics of the spacecraft and natural bodies are often solved for separately, in a deco…
Analytical framework for mutual approximations -- Derivation and application to Jovian satellites
M. Fayolle, D. Dirkx, P. N. A. M. Visser +1
The apparent close encounters of two satellites in the plane of the sky, called mutual approximations, have been suggested as a different type of astrometric observation to refine…
Combining astrometry and JUICE -- Europa Clipper radio science to improve the ephemerides of the Galilean moons
M. Fayolle, A. Magnanini, V. Lainey +3
The upcoming JUICE and Europa Clipper missions to Jupiter's Galilean satellites will provide radio science tracking measurements of both spacecraft. Such data are expected to signi…
Spacecraft VLBI tracking to enhance stellar occultations astrometry of planetary satellites
M. Fayolle, V. Lainey, D. Dirkx +3
Stellar occultations currently provide the most accurate ground-based measurements of the positions of natural satellites (down to a few kilometres for the Galilean moons). However…
Tilting Uranus via the migration of an ancient satellite
Melaine Saillenfest, Zeeve Rogoszinski, Giacomo Lari +4
Context. The 98°-obliquity of Uranus is commonly attributed to giant impacts that occurred at the end of the planetary formation. This picture, however, is not devoid of weaknesses…
