The pointing system, telemetry rate, thermal control, power, command, and available mass of planetary spacecraft are described. A comparison of the pointing and stability capabilities of the three-axis stabilized spacecraft and the spin stabilized spacecraft is presented. The development of a hybrid spacecraft, which combines the spin and three-axis design, is examined. The attitude control and articulation system, and the instruments of the Galileo, a hybrid spacecraft, are analyzed.
