The trajectory design process for the Galilean satellite probe, expected to be launched in January 1982, is examined and its interplanetary path, emphasizing arrival dates and the Mars flyby, is presented. The Galileo spacecraft is of dual spin design, combining features of Pioneer, a spinning craft, and Voyager which was 3-axis stabilized. The design of the initial orbit from Orbiter deflection through Jupiter to the beginning of the satellite tour is discussed as well as the use of an Io gravity assist flyby to achieve Jupiter orbit insertion, and the effects of solar perturbation on the initial orbit. Detail is given to the entire satellite tour trajectory design process, starting from the requirements and constraints placed on the tour through the conic design to the final numerically integrated trajectories.
