JUICE will also examine the interaction between the moons and Jupiter's powerful magnetosphere. The spacecraft will conduct remote sensing observations, including high-resolution imaging, radar sounding, and spectral analysis. Of particular importance are three magnetometers, which were calibrated and tested within the Merritt coil system at the Conrad Observatory of GeoSphere Austria. One of these magnetometers was developed and constructed by IWF and TU Graz. The mission will provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of Jupiter's icy moons, their potential habitability, and their connection to the overall understanding of our solar system.
