In January of 1982 the United States will launch Galileo, the first space mission designed to perform an intensive tour of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter. This paper discusses the results of preliminary maneuver strategy studies for typical interplanetary and orbital phases of the Galileo mission. These studies include the effects of maneuver placement and various linear control algorithms on propellant consumption as determined by Monte Carlo analysis. Estimates of total propellant required for various probabilities of mission success are also given.
