GALILEO STATUS REPORT
January 22, 1993
The Galileo Spacecraft is operating normally in the dual-spin mode and
is transmitting coded telemetry at 1200 bps (bits/second).
Yesterday, AACS (Attitude and Articultion Control Subsystem)
calibrations were performed, as planned. Tracking was scheduled over DSS-14
(Goldstone 70 meter antenna) and DSS-43 (Canberra 70 meter antenna).
Today, January 22, 1993, real-time commands were sent to power cycle the
UVS (Ultraviolet Spectrometer) on/off to exercise the drive mechanism.
Real-time commands are also scheduled to perform planned system fault
protection updates. Stored sequence planned cruise science MROs (Memory
Readouts) were completed as scheduled. Also, the planned USO (Ultra Stable
Oscillator) test was performed. The PWS (Plasma Wave) instrument is also
scheduled to be turned on from the stored sequence. Tracking is scheduled
over DSS-43.
Over the weekend, no spacecraft activity or tracking is scheduled.
The AACS inflight mode is scheduled to begin on Monday, January 25, 1993.
