Article Synopsis
- The MAJIS instrument on the JUICE spacecraft will study the surfaces and atmospheres of the Jupiter system by analyzing visible and infrared light.
- A calibration campaign was conducted before launch to gather necessary measurements for evaluating the instrument's performance, including signal-to-noise ratio and straylight effects.
- The paper details the setup and methods used for calibration and discusses the radiometric, geometric, and spectral properties measured, as well as challenges faced during the campaign.
MAJIS, Moons and Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer, is one of the scientific payloads aboard European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer mission. This instrument underwent a comprehensive characterization and calibration campaign before integration on the spacecraft. In this work, we report on the measurements of the instrumental spatial responses, including the slit and pixel functions, the knife edge function, the ensquared energy, and the keystone aberration.

Before its integration into the spacecraft, the instrument undergoes an extensive ground calibration to establish its baseline performances. This process prepares the imaging spectrometer for flight operations by characterizing the behavior of the instrument under various operative conditions and uncovering instrumental distortions that may depend on instrumental commands.
