Abstract
The ESA’s JUICE mission will provide a multidisciplinary investigation of Jupiter and its Galilean
moons through a suite of eleven different experiments.
JUICE will perform 2 Europa flybys, more than 10
Callisto flybys, and will orbit about Ganymede in the
last 9 months of the mission. The 3GM (Geodesy and
Geophysics of Jupiter and the Galilean Moons)
experiment will use accurate Doppler and range
measurements to infer the moons' internal structure by
measuring their gravity field and, for Ganymede and
Callisto, their tidal Love number 𝑘₂ . This work
presents the attainable 3GM gravity experiment
performances with the latest trajectory kernels and the
High Accuracy Accelerometer (HAA) to remove the
dynamical noise induced by propellant sloshing.
