The purpose of the Galileo missions is to make observations of Jupiter and its satellites using an orbiting spacecraft and an atmospheric entry probe. The mission will determine the chemical composition and physical state of the Jovian atmosphere and its satellites, and the topology and behavior of the magnetic field and energetic particle flux of Jupiter. The mission plan calls for a Venus Earth Earth Gravity Assist (VEEGA) trajectory having a launch to end of mission duration of approximately 8 years. The Galileo spacecraft was placed in Earth orbit by the Space Transportation System (STS) on October 18, 1989. The Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) placed the spacecraft on a trajectory to encounter Venus on February 10, 1990. Information is given in tabular form for coverage goals, Deep Space Network (DSN) support, frequency assignments, telemetry, command, and tracking support responsibility.
