GALILEO STATUS REPORT
December 12, 1990
The Galileo spacecraft completed sending back the images for the Earth
spin movie were earlier today. All but 22 (10 contiguous in one segment,
12 contiguous in another) of the 1500 images were successfully retrieved.
This loss was expected due to DSS (Deep Space Station) view period
constraints; the loss has a minor effect on the integrity of the spin movie.
Some of the Earth images are being shown on the TV monitors at JPL.
Galileo, speeding away from Earth, will continue to collect valuable
Earth science data for the next several days. Tomorrow, in addition to
continued science activities, a SITURN to lead the sun will be performed.
