Design Qualification of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer JENI Instrument using the LS-DYNA Frequency Domain Suite

In 2022 the European Space Agency (ESA) will launch the JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) for an 11-year mission to the Jovian system. The Particle Environment Package (PEP) suite of sensors includes the Jovian Energetic Neutrals and Ions sensor (JENI), designed, built, and qualified by The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. The requirements established to ensure JENI withstands the launch environment include a first instrument mode above 140 Hz and positive structural margin when subjected to 39g per axis quasi-static analyses and random vibration analyses totaling up to 9.12 grms.
