After its Venus-Earth-Earth Gravity Assist trajectory, the Galileo spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter in 1995. The gravity-assist portion of the mission, however, will allow the spacecraft, which is equipped with a unique set of remote-sensing instruments, to observe earth from 970 km during its December 1990 approach, and from as little as 304 km in its second and last approach of December, 1992. An evaluation is presented of the role that the Galileo instrument suite can play in these earth encounters in virtue of their outstanding spectral and spatial resolutions.
