Himalia (/ h ɪ ˈ m eɪ l i ə, h ɪ ˈ m ɑː l i ə /), also known as Jupiter VI, is the largest irregular satellite of Jupiter.With a diameter of at least 140 km (90 mi), [5] it is the sixth largest Jovian satellite, after the four Galilean moons and Amalthea.
As the below graph demonstrates, the maximum absolute magnitude (total inherent brightness, abbreviated H) of moons we have detected around planets occurs at H = 18 for Jupiter, H = 17 for Saturn, H = 14 for Uranus, and H = 12 for Neptune. Smaller moons may (and most likely do) exist around each of these planets, but are currently undetectable ...
The P.10 was powered by a 440 hp (328 kW) licence-built Bristol Jupiter VI radial engine. [1] The aircraft had three open cockpits, one forward of the wings for the pilot, further aft was a cockpit for a gunner, just in front of the tailplane was the third cockpit for the observer. [1] A landplane variant, the P.10bis, had a fixed landing gear. [1]

The spacecrafts were then moved into a separate program named Mariner Jupiter-Saturn (also Mariner Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus, [19] MJS, or MJSU), part of the Mariner program, later renamed because it was thought that the design of the two space probes had progressed sufficiently beyond that of the Mariner family to merit a separate name.
The sizes and masses of many of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn are fairly well known due to numerous observations and interactions of the Galileo and Cassini orbiters; however, many of the moons with a radius less than ~100 km, such as Jupiter's Himalia, have far less certain masses. [5]
