As the time of the Ida encounter by Galileo approached, some unfortunate circumstances occurred, causing a very worrisome but exciting encounter, especially with regards to navigation. This paper reports on Galileo's orbit determination stratagy during the period after the last Earth encounter through the Ida flyby. Details in the modeling of Galileo's orbit, and in the use of various navigation tools, will be explained and the results of several key orbit solutions will be given.
