Scientific paper

It is proposed to take image of the Pluto-Charon system using the F/96 and F/288 cameras of the FOC. This will give the first true image of this outermost planet in the solar system, the only one of the outer planets that has not been visited by the Voyager probes. Pluto will subtend approximately 20 pixels across at F/288, while Charon, separated from Pluto by about 70 pixels, will be 10 pixels across. The image will add important constraints to ground-based eclipse mapping reconstructions, and greatly improve our knowledge of the orbital elements of this intriguing system
