Potential coverage of Ganymede achievable by MAJIS during the circular orbital sub-phase GCO500. MAJIS footprints are counted whenever the local solar time is between 7 h and 17 h and are shown with a colour code related to the coverage redundancy (green to magenta). The right panels illustrate the corresponding coverage of solar incidence angles, local solar time and spatial resolution wrt latitude. The northern polar region will be largely in shadow by the time JUICE will enter the GCO500 circular orbit sub-phase. This estimation does not consider the available data volume; therefore, it must be understood as a maximum theoretical coverage
