MAJIS Pointing Types#

The MAJIS Pointing Table living document contains the definition and description of all MAJIS pointing types that can be performed during the JUICE mission.

  • it provides examples of PTR pointing blocks for each pointing type.

  • it is used as reference to derive and write corresponding GFINDER Opportunity Definition File (ODF) pointing definition blocks.

The table below shows the list of pointing types and their implementation as MOS-GFINDER ODF file. All pointing types are also described and discussed on this GitLab Issue Board.
