MCSE has supplied the two monitoring cameras on board ESA’s JUICE mission to Jupiter to provide snapshots with different fields of view.
JMC1 is located on the front of the spacecraft and looks diagonally up into a field of view that sees deployed antennas, and depending on their orientation, part of one of the solar arrays.
JMC2 is located on the top of the spacecraft. It was placed to monitor the multi-stage deployment of the 16 m-long Radar for Icy Moons Exploration (RIME) antenna. RIME is an ice-penetrating radar that will be used to remotely probe the subsurface structure of the large moons of Jupiter.
