The Jupiter Environment Tool (JET) is a custom UI plug-in for STK that provides an interface to Jupiter environment models for visualization and analysis. Users can visualize the different magnetic field models of Jupiter through various rendering methods, which are fully integrated within STK’s 3D Window. This allows users to take snapshots and make animations of their scenarios with magnetic field visualizations. Analytical data can be accessed in the form of custom vectors. Given these custom vectors, users have access to magnetic field data in custom reports, graphs, access constraints, coverage analysis, and anywhere else vectors are used within STK.

This work was done by Erick J. Sturm, Kenneth M. Donahue, James P. Biehl, and Michael Kokorowski of Caltech; Cedrick Ngalande of Microcosm, Inc.; and Jordan Boedeker of Iowa State University for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
