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.
Evidence of a north-south asymmetry in the global heliosphere, first inferred from Ulysses cosmic ray observations, is investigated using simultaneous Ulysses and WIND magnetic field observations.
