Jupiter Magnetospheric Orbiter
Encyclopedia
As a part of the Europa Jupiter System Mission
(EJSM), the Jupiter Magnetospheric Orbiter (JMO) is an orbiter
probe
proposed by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
The spacecraft is slated for a lift-off in 2020 together with ESA's Jupiter Ganymede Orbiter
(JGO) from which it will undock upon its arrival at Jupiter in 2025/2026. JMO is planned to undertake detailed in-situ studies of the magnetosphere of Jupiter as a template for an astrophysical magnetised disk and affording the opportunity for “3-point” investigations of the Jupiter system via synergistic observations with JGO and NASA

Space probe
A robotic spacecraft is a spacecraft with no humans on board, that is usually under telerobotic control. A robotic spacecraft designed to make scientific research measurements is often called a space probe. Many space missions are more suited to telerobotic rather than crewed operation, due to...
