Jupiter’s Magnetosphere Bagenal and Bartlett JUMPER focuses on two science topics: 1. The solar wind’s impact on Jupiter’s magnetosphere. 2. Mass and energy transport through Jupiter’s magnetosphere.
Science Questions Mission Overview Mission Design 1. How does the solar wind (SW) influence the configuration and dynamics of Jupiter’s magnetosphere? 1. How does the SW interact with Jupiter’s magnetopause? 1. What are the flux and energy spectra of energetic neutral atoms escaping from Jupiter’s magnetosphere? Flight System Key Performance Characteristics
Science Question #1 How does the solar wind (SW) influence the configuration and dynamics of Jupiter’s magnetosphere? JUMPER conducts simultaneous observations of Jupiter’s magnetosphere with the primary spacecraft and/or Earth-based observatories.
Science Question #2 How does the SW interact with Jupiter’s magnetopause? Delamere & Bagenal 2010 Ebert et al. 2017 Observations of magnetic reconnection and Kelvin-Helmholtz waves at Jupiter’s magnetopause are limited to non-existent.
Science Question #3 What are the flux and energy spectra of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) escaping Jupiter’s magnetosphere? Mauk et al. 2004 Mitchell et al. 2004

JUMPER Summary § JUMPER is a Jupiter orbiting Small. Sat mission concept. § Science goal is to study (i) the solar wind’s impact on and (ii) mass and energy transport through Jupiter’s magnetosphere. § Project funded through NASA PSDS 3 program. § Final report delivered to NASA on 12/29/2017. § Paper published in IEEE 2018 Aerospace Conference Proceedings. § This mission concept is applicable to other planetary systems. § A mission proposal was submitted to SIMPLEX program that leveraged technical work developed for JUMPER (next slide).
§ SOAR is a Small. Sat mission to Mars with a targeted and compelling science investigation. § § Science goal: Characterize the large-scale interaction between the solar wind and Martian space environment. Solar wind-Mars interactions studied using in-situ and remote sensing observations. Mission design § 480 day interplanetary cruise + orbit transfer period. § 10 month science mission. The SOAR flight system meets the mass and volume requirements for an ESPA-class Small. Sat. § SOAR proposal submitted to SIMPLEX program for review.
