Various aspects of the Galileo spacecraft inertial balance are described. Attention is given to the Galileo spacecraft and mission description, the attitude and articulation control and figure of merit requirements, the inertial balance test and verification plan, and the error analysis. Particular consideration is given to aerodynamic effects and the ballasting technique known as asymmetric tank fill.
