Planetary radio interferometry and Doppler experiment as an operational component of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer mission
Vidhya Pallichadath, Dominic Dirkx, Marie S. Fayolle +9
We present an overview of the operations and engineering interface for Planetary Radio Interferometry and Doppler Experiment (PRIDE) radio astronomy observations as a scientific co…
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…
