GALILEO STATUS REPORT
December 13, 1990
The Galileo spacecraft continues to collect valuable science data as it
speeds away from Earth. Yesterday, in addition to science data gathering
activities, several instruments successfully completed planned calibrations.
Today the NIMS (Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer) instrument was powered off
as planned and the spacecraft successfuly completed a planned 6 degree SITURN
to lead the sun by about 2.5 degrees. Tomorrow, the VE-12 (Venus-Earth 12)
sequence memory load will be transmitted to the spacecraft. VE-12 controls
spacecraft activities from December 17 to February 18, 1991.
