6.4.1 Feature G2-19:08:51 (continued)
The results for extended bounce mode with the addition of scattering are presented in Figures 6.115 through 6.118 for model M2 energy channels E3 and F2. In this case, the feature fills in with increasing scattering coefficient. The important fact here is that scattering is necessary to recover the feature. Figures 6.119 through 6.121 present the correlation plots for model M2 channels E1, E3, and F2 respectively. From these plots it can be seen that the scattering coefficient is a function of energy. Figures 6.122 through 6.124 present the correlation plots for model M1 channels E1, E3, and F2 respectively.

Figure 6.117 (A) Simulated M2 and real (Re) rate profile for feature G2-18:56:31 of channel F2 normalized to 90º of pitch. The simulated runs are done in extended bounce mode with scattering included. (B) The pitch (a) and phase (f) 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
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.
