The primary objective of STS-34 was to launch Galileo on its trip to Jupiter. The Galileo spacecraft contains two Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTG), which contains plutonium. This videotape shows and the accompanying material explains the tests that the RTG containment vessel has been subjected to, and the results of the tests. The videotape shows the trajectory of the Galileo spacecraft, a cutaway view of an RTG, the Plutonium-238 fuel capsule, and seven of the tests on the RTG.
