Jupiter ICY Moon Explorer (JUICE): Advances in the Design of the Radar for Icy Moons (RIME)

open access: yes2015 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2015
This paper presents the Radar for Icy Moon Exploration (RIME) that is a fundamental payload in the Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE) mission of the European Space Agency (ESA). RIME is a radar sounder aimed to study the subsurface of Jupiter's icy moons Ganymede, Europa and Callisto.

RIME: Radar for Icy Moon Exploration

2013 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - IGARSS, 2013
This paper presents the Radar for Icy Moons Exploration (RIME) instrument, which has been selected as payload for the JUpiter Icy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission. JUICE is the first Large-class mission chosen as part of the ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 programme, and is aimed to study Jupiter and to investigate the potentially habitable zones in the ...

Astrobiology of Jupiter's icy moons

SPIE Proceedings, 2004
Jupiter's Icy Moons, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, may possess energy sources, biogenic molecules, and oceans below their icy crusts, thus indicating a strong possibility that they were abodes for present or past life. Life in Earth's icy areas lives in a wide variety of habitats associated with the ice, in the water column below the ice, and on the ...

Is Airy Isostasy Applicable to Icy Moons?

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
AbstractAiry isostasy is commonly used in planetary science to explain the relationship between crustal thickness variations and topography. Recently, several researchers have questioned the validity of this concept and proposed alternative approaches. Here we examine the accuracy of these approaches by comparing their results with those obtained from ...

The icy moons

2014
For Principal Investigator Michele Dougherty of the Magnetometer (MAG) team, the Cassini mission highlight occurred in February 2005. This was when she and her colleagues determined that Saturn’s magnetic field lines were unexpectedly bending as they went by the satellite Enceladus. This was possibly a sign that the tiny moon, even with its low gravity,

Tumbling Icy Moons

Science, 2006
LUNAR AND PLANETARY SCIENCE CONFERENCEHOUSTON, TEXAS-- Two planetary scientists suggested an explanation for the geophysical oddity of geysering at the south pole of Enceladus at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, held here from 13 to 17 March: An imbalance in the saturnian satellite's innards may have rolled it over to bring the geysering ...

The Dust Halo of Saturn's Largest Icy Moon, Rhea

Science, 2008
Saturn's moon Rhea had been considered massive enough to retain a thin, externally generated atmosphere capable of locally affecting Saturn's magnetosphere. The Cassini spacecraft's in situ observations reveal that energetic electrons are depleted in the moon's vicinity.
