Arm for J-MAG and RPWI

Arm for J-MAG and RPWI
Engineers prepare a test of the magnetometer arm carrying the Jupiter magnetometer J-MAG in the thermal vacuum test facility at IABG's test centre in Ottobrunn. The 10.6-metre boom carries sensors for the J-MAG magnetometer and for the Radio and Plasma Wave Investigation (RPWI) instrument, which will provide data on Jupiter’s magnetosphere, plasma and the fields around its giant moons.
