[net.space] Galileo & Jupiter

kwmc@hou5d.UUCP (K. W. M. Cochran) (07/26/83)

Could someone please enlighten me as to what Galileo is expected
to measure as it plummets toward Jupiter?   Also isn't the atmosphere
of Jupiter disturbed by high winds and lightening? How will the craft
maintain stability and radio communication with the orbiter ?

	Regarding Ken Cochran's request for info on the Galileo
mission, the feature article in the August SKY & TELESCOPE covers
the mission quite well. You'll find details of the orbiter and
probe, the scientific instrumentation, mission objectives and
time tables.
