Orbit & access
- Orbit
- Mean distance: ≈ 23.8 million km from Jupiter; Orbital period: ≈ 750 days; Inclination: ≈ 151° (retrograde); Eccentricity: ≈ 0.33.Source: [3] NASA JPL Solar System Dynamics
- Accessibility (Δv / travel time)
- Model assumptionAbout 10.5 km/s of ideal Δv from low Earth orbit (6.30 km/s to depart + 4.21 km/s to arrive), and about 2.7 years for an ideal transfer.Model calculation from our Space Resource Intelligence (SRI) sample report: ideal transfer to the parent planet, then capture into this moon's orbit; no gravity assists. Real trajectories differ.
- Mission history
- No spacecraft visit is listed in our sources. What is known comes from telescopes.
Resources & economy
- Believed resources
- Model assumptionOur model looks at water / volatiles for propellant and life support. Usable fraction assumed at 0.02–0.1 of extracted material (bear to bull). Composition of small irregular moons is unmeasured; water content is a pure SRI assumption.SRI sample-model assumption, not a measurement.
- Economic outlook
- Model assumptionScientific value now; any resource value is long-horizon option value. Our sample model gives an NPV of about −$2,016M (bear), −$1,170M (base) and $2,594M (bull).Model output from our SRI sample valuation model (launch, product value, transit, extraction and discount-rate inputs are scenario assumptions, not forecasts). Not investment advice.
