                        Galileo Status Report
                          November 6, 1990
 
     A NO-OP command was sent yesterday to the Galileo spacecraft to reset
the Command Loss Timer to 216 hours.  A MAG (Magnetometer) instrument
science memory readout was also successfully completed.  Today, two delta DOR
(Differential One-way Ranging) navigation activities were completed
successfully.

For those of you wondering what the other commands in the Galileo
spacecraft instruction set are, here are a few of them:

BIC	Branch on Inferior Conjunction
THA	Twirl High-gain Antenna
IRL	Ignore Receiver Lock
JMP	Jump on Major Planet
RUI	Reject Ugly Image

I'm sure that some more spacecraft experts on the net would be
happy to post the rest of the set...
