    Instrument Description
    UVS is an ultra-violet imaging spectrograph sensitive to both extreme and far ultra-violet emissions in the 70-205 nm range that are used to characterize the morphology and spectral nature of Jupiter’s auroral emissions as they are targeted during the Juno mission. Similar instruments are flying on the Alice instruments of Rosetta orbiting comet 67 P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and the New Horizons mission to Pluto; the Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) instrument on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO); and a future mission to Europa.


    Measurement Objectives
    Juno-UVS's main objective is to provide context for the particles and fields instruments (i.e., JADE, JEDI, Waves, and MAG). By observing expected locations of the Juno magnetic field line footprint, direct comparison of the precipitating particle fluxes measured by JADE and JEDI can be made with the FUV emissions they produce upon impacting Jupiter’s upper atmosphere (composed mainly of the Lyman series of H and the Lyman, Werner, and Rydberg band systems of H2).
