9322119 Spinrad Since the timings, locations, and results of specific entry events is difficult to know ahead of time, Dr. Spinrad plans a comprehensive series of observations on the large-scale circum-Jovian environment to be carried out at the Lick and Leuschner Observatories. The scientific goals include imaging the boundaries and observing the flows in the outer Jovian magnetosphere, detailing potentially radical changes, and watching the recovery of the Io plasma torus. Dr. Spinrad will also observe the spectra of some large-impact fireballs via satellite reflection spectra and will image morphological changes in the Jovian atmosphere.

由于很难提前知道具体进入事件的时间、地点和结果，Spinrad博士计划在Lick和Leuschner天文台对大范围的环绕木星环境进行一系列全面的观测。科学目标包括成像边界和观察木星外磁层的流动，详细描述潜在的激进变化，以及观察木卫一等离子体环面的恢复。斯宾拉德博士还将通过卫星反射光谱观察一些大碰撞火球的光谱，并将拍摄木星大气中形态变化的图像。
