Today on Galileo - April 6, 1997
As we spring forward into daylight savings time today (here in the U.S.), the encounter period for Ganymede-7 comes to an end. Two more PPR (Photopolarimeter Radiometer) polarimetry observations are performed, one of Callisto and one of Europa. The last of the small red spot observations are completed just prior to the end of the encounter. The fields and particles instruments continue their survey of Jupiter's magnetosphere into the playback period. The cruise period commands begin to execute at about 10 am (PDT).
Come back tomorrow to learn about the playback plans for this orbit with the return of This Week on Galileo.
