How often can the THEMIS image on each orbit in aerobraking at apogee?
THEMIS will be used to image the planet only a few times during aerobraking. The first image was taking this morning and will be released soon. A few others may follow however, the period that spacecraft is in (~18 hours) is short the main focus is obtaining a circular orbit so the main mapping mission can begin.
