- Galileo's Despun Section rotates, and so may be in any angular position. Unfortunately, this model does not permit the despun section to rotate. Set the spacecraft upside down, with the mark SBA facing up. SBA stands for Spin Bearing Assembly.
- Set the upper end of the Despun Section (opposite the Probe) down onto the SBA, so that it surrounds the white ring. Rotate it to the angular position you would like to have it. Apply glue to secure it there. Be sure it is centered as the glue dries.
