Figure B40 (A) Simulated M2 and real (Re) rate profile for the feature G7-07:22:14 of channel E1 normalized to 90º of pitch. The simulated runs are done in extended bounce mode with scattering included. Stars show a scattering coefficient of 30x10-3 and diamonds show a scattering coefficient of 10x10-3. (B) The pitch and phase angles are computed from the look direction of the EPD detector and the appropriate magnetic field vector R for real and S for simulated.
Figure B41  (A) Simulated M2 and real (Re) rate profile for the feature G7-07:22:14 of channel E1 normalized to 90º of pitch. The simulated runs are done in extended bounce mode with scattering included. Stars show a scattering coefficient of 30x10-3 and diamonds show field trace results with no scattering. (B) The pitch and phase angles are computed from the look direction of the EPD detector and the appropriate magnetic field vector R for real and S for simulated.
Figure B42 (A) Simulated M2 and real (Re) rate profile for the feature G7-07:22:14 of channel E3 normalized to 90º of pitch. The simulated runs are done in extended bounce mode with scattering included. Stars show a scattering coefficient of 30x10-3 and diamonds show a scattering coefficient of 10x10-3. (B) The pitch and phase angles are computed from the look direction of the EPD detector and the appropriate magnetic field vector R for real and S for simulated.
Figure B43 (A) Simulated M2 and real (Re) rate profile for the feature G7-07:22:14 of channel E3 normalized to 90º of pitch. The simulated runs are done in extended bounce mode with scattering included. Stars show a scattering coefficient of 30x10-3 and diamonds show field trace results with no scattering. (B) The pitch and phase angles are computed from the look direction of the EPD detector and the appropriate magnetic field vector R for real and S for simulated.
Figure B44 (A) Simulated M2 and real (Re) rate profile for the feature G7-07:22:14 of channel F2 normalized to 90º of pitch. The simulated runs are done in extended bounce mode with scattering included. Stars show a scattering coefficient of 5x10-3 and diamonds show a scattering coefficient of 1x10-3. (B) The pitch and phase angles are computed from the look direction of the EPD detector and the appropriate magnetic field vector R for real and S for simulated.
Figure B45 (A) Simulated M2 and real (Re) rate profile for the feature G7-07:22:14 of channel F2 normalized to 90º of pitch. The simulated runs are done in extended bounce mode with scattering included. Stars show a scattering coefficient of 1x10-3 and diamonds show a run with no scattering added. (B) The pitch and phase angles are computed from the look direction of the EPD detector and the appropriate magnetic field vector R for real and S for simulated.

QUICK FACTS

Manufacturer: The Galileo Spacecraft was manufactured by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm, General Electric, and the Hughes Aircraft Company.

Mission Duration: Galileo was planned to have a mission duration of around 8 years, but was kept in operation for 13 years, 11 months, and 3 days, until it was destroyed in a controlled impact with Jupiter on September 21, 2003.

Destination: Galileo's destination was Jupiter and its moons, which it orbitted for 7 years, 9 months, and 13 days.
