                            GALILEO STATUS REPORT
                               January 12, 1993

     The Galileo Spacecraft is operating normally in the all-spin mode and
is transmitting coded telemetry at 1200 bps (bits/second).

     Yesterday, real-time commands were sent to update system fault protection
prior to start of the warming turn.  The warming turn to a 45 degree off-sun
attitude began at 11:41 AM PST and completed at 11:52 AM PST.  Real-time
commands were then sent to modify the thermal safing response to system fault
protection.  Real-time motor hammering commands were then sent.  Tracking was
scheduled over DSS-43 (Canberra 70 meter antenna) and DSS-63 (Madrid 70 meter
antenna).

     Today, January 12, 1993, three 180 pulse hammering pulse sequence using
different hammering frequencies are scheduled prior to the scheduled sun
acquisition to a 5 degree off-sun attitude at 12:13 PM PST.  After completion
of the sun acquisition, seven 360 pulse hammering sequences are scheduled.
The 360 pulse hammering sequences combine the previouly used 180 pulse
hammering sequences.  Tracking is scheduled over DSS-43 and DSS-63.

     Tomorrow, one 360 pulse hammering sequence is scheduled.  Real-time
commands to reacquire celestial reference and to update system fault
protection are scheduled.  The next sequence which covers HGA warming turn and
motor hammering activities from January 14, 1993, to January 19, 1993, is then
scheduled to be uplinked.  Tracking is scheduled over DSS-14 (Goldstone 70
meter antenna), DSS-43 and DSS-63.
