Scientific paper

A modified Jamin interferometer is being developed to determine the helium content of the Jupiter atmosphere in the framework of the NASA Galileo mission, with a view to a better understanding of the inner structure of Jupiter, the thermal characteristics of its atmosphere, and the evolution of Jupiter and the whole solar system. The planned characteristics of the planet telescope are: a broad spectral range from UV to IR, an angular resolution of 0.1 seconds of arc, and a high orbit. For the comet mission, a CRAF subsystem is being developed for a mass spectrometer experiment for the study of the gas and ion composition in the coma of planets. The subsystem has to calibrate the absolute sensitivity of instruments during the interplanetary flight, and calibrate the mass spectrometer in the laboratory.
