Module for Event-Driven Operations on Spacecraft (MEDOS)

The Module for Event-Driven Operations on Spacecraft (MEDOS) is a framework for making real-time operational decisions based on detected events from onboard measurements. MEDOS calculates derived parameters, which are physically meaningful and relevant to a mission planner. MEDOS...

Plasma wave observations from Juno spacecraft at the Jovian bow shock

Recent observations of Jupiter’s bow shock have provided new insights into the energy dissipation mechanisms associated with bow shocks of outer planets. At greater distances from the Sun, the typically increasing super-Alfvénic nature of the solar wind leads to higher-energy bow...
