Abstract

AbstractIn preparation of the JUICE mission with the primary target Ganymede [1] we generated a new controlled version of the global Ganymede image mosaic using a combination of Voyager 1 and 2 and Galileo images. Baseline for this work was the new 3D control point network from Zubarev et al., 2016 [2], which uses the best available images from both missions and led to new position and pointing of the images.Introduction Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 encountered Jupiter in 1979. They took 490 Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) and Wide Angle Camera (WAC) images of Ganymede’s surface with pixel scales from 470 m/pxl down to 20 km/pxl. Galileo entered orbit around Jupiter in 1995 and flew by Ganymede 15 times to acquire 149 images (
