The Galileo spacecraft which will orbit Jupiter in 1987 will encounter one of the most interesting natural environments. These include high energy radiation electrons and ions and magnetospheric plasmas. The evaluation of Galileo design commenced with a careful consideration of the plasma environment and the now standard spacecraft charging analysis. In addition the intense high energy radiation environment has necessitated the consideration of charges deposited internally to the spacecraft. This paper presents some of the analyses and the design changes which have occurred as a result of the above mentioned environmental interaction considerations.
