(abstract) Final Galileo Propulsion System In-Flight Characterization (Extended Abstract)

The Galileo Retropropulsion Module (RPM) has performed excellently during nearly seven years of Galileo mission operations. The RPM was provided by the Federal Republic of Germany to NASA to provide directed impulse to the Galileo spacecraft during all phases of the Galileo mission following Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) jettison. This paper documents the in-flight performance of the Galileo propulsion system since July 1993.
