Calibration of RPWI Langmuir Probe Data

Student: Gurpreet Kaur, Uppsala University
Supervisor: David Andrews
Period: Spring 2023

Abstract

In this project calibration of the four Langmuir probes on the JUICE spacecraft has been made. JUICE (JUpiter Icy Moon Explorer) is a spacecraft which will investigate the environment around Jupiter and its four biggest moons. On the spacecraft are 10 different instruments onboard, where one of the instruments is the Radio and Plasma WaveInvestigator (RPWI). The mission of RPWI is to measure the electromagnetic field and plasma particles, among other things around the Jovian system. To analyse the measured data from the probe, the data have to be converted from the internally used telemetry units to physical quantities which is done in this report.
