Enhanced Decoding for the Galileo Low-Gain Antenna Mission
Due to a malfunctioning high-gain antenna, the Galileo spacecraft is transmitting all its data through a low-gain antenna, and the data rate will seldom exceed 100 bits per second during its two-year tour of Jupiter's satellites.

Galileo Spacecraft Scan Platform Celestial Pointing Cone Control Gain Redesign
During September and October 1991, pictures of the Gaspra asteroid and neighboring stars were taken by the Galileo Optical Navigation (OPNAV) Team for the purpose of navigation the spacecraft for a successful Gaspra encounter. The star tracks in these pictures showed that the scan platform celestial pointing cone controller performed poorly in compensating for wobble-induced cone offsets.

Annealing displacement damage in GaAs LEDs: another Galileo success story
A recent failure of Galileo's magnetic recorder was identified as LED degradation. Annealing the culprit OP133s proved successful and the irreplaceable data was recovered. Test data and modeling results calibrate an understanding of this incident.

NIMS Science Objectives and Observational Plans for Ganymede during the Galileo Tour
The Galileo spacecraft will use a Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (NIMS) to study Jupiter s moon, Ganymede. Although the main goal is to study the chemical components in the various surface compositional units, terrain types, craters, polar effects, hemisphere differences, and the atmosphere also will be examined.
