JUICE RPWI high-frequency calibration by using solar Type III radio bursts

Thursday 4 June 2026, by Corentin Louis

The Radio and Plasma Wave Investigation (RPWI) aboard the ESA JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft is currently en route to Jupiter. This paper exhibits part of the calibration of the high frequency (HF) receiver for RPWI based on observations of solar Type III radio bursts during the August 2024 Lunar-Earth Gravity Assist, using measurements from Wind and PSP missions. In addition, we estimate the instrument sensitivity to Auroral Kilometric Radiation (AKR) for the Earth flybys planned in 2026 and 2029.
