Article Synopsis
- - The Mapping Imaging Spectrometer for Europa (MISE) is an infrared instrument on NASA's Europa Clipper mission, aimed at understanding the composition and habitability of Europa's ocean and its icy surface.
- - MISE will capture data from 0.8 to 5 μm with high spatial (25 m per pixel) and spectral resolution, helping identify critical components such as water ice, salts, acids, and organics on Europa's surface.
- - This instrument, along with other Europa Clipper payloads, will enhance our knowledge of Europa's geological processes and surface structure, as detailed in the accompanying paper describing MISE's science goals, design, operations, and expected data products.
In typical astrophysical environments, the abundance of heavy elements ranges from 0.001 to 2 times the solar value. Lower abundances have been seen in selected stars in the Milky Way's halo and in two quasar absorption systems at redshift z = 3 (ref.
