The Galileo Orbiter differs markedly from its Mariner, Viking and Voyager predecessors in many aspects of its design, as dictated by its unique mission characteristics. Novel design features include a dual spin configuration, long life bipropellant propulsion, radioisotope thermoelectric generators, and a star scanner. Other major changes are related to Space Shuttle Orbiter compatibility. The selection of a distributed data system employing a high speed data bus represents a major advance over Voyager systems. The command, control and data handling functions for the Orbiter are merged into a single software-controlled subsystem. The paramount importance of software development in the design of Galileo subsystems is noted, in view of the requirement for total engineering and science data acquisition process reprogrammability.
