Galileo Orbiter Functional Requirements Book, 1979-1983.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733100203

The collection includes the Galileo Project Orbiter Functional Requirements Book design criteria as written during the period of 1979-1983. The design criteria provides a functional description of the spacecraft construction methods for Orbiter external assemblies, bay assemblies, subassemblies chassis, sub-chassis and other components so that electrical properties of the Orbiter structure were maintained throughout the service life of the Orbiter. The Orbiter design was based on the use of the on-board command and data subsystem and the elimination or minimization of direct access for subsystem and system testing. The Orbiter was instrumented, first to provide in-flight data needed for normal flight operations, and, second, to be capable of performing operational sequences under control of on-board logic and measurement devices. Its on-board sequencing was consistent with ground generation and validation requirements and capabilities. The collection consists of a disassembled three-volume document; JPL 625-205, here arranged in files as originally sequenced. The files include cover page, contents, design criteria documents, introduction and distribution list for written design criteria plus the body of the document. The document includes standard procedures and spacecraft design criteria for requirements and constraints as well as standard trajectories for 1979 through 1983. Arrangement as bound is maintained. Sequenced identification numbers are associated with each folder. Interoffice Memo design criteria guidelines and amended responsibilities are by the Galileo Spacecraft System Engineer and Galileo Orbiter Configuration Management Team. The Operations, Systems and Subsystems of the Galileo Project Orbiter Functional Requirements are included.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a research and development center and NASA field center in Pasadena, California. The JPL is owned by NASA and managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology. The laboratory's primary function is the construction and operation of planetary robotic spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is also responsible for operating NASA's Deep Space Network. Among the laboratory's major active projects are the Mars Scien...

The Galileo Project was originally called Jupiter Orbiter-Probe. Galileo was launched October 18, 1989, aboard the Shuttle Atlantis STS 34. The Galileo Mission consisted of two spacecraft: an orbiter and an atmospheric probe. The two spacecraft were kicked out of Earth orbit by an inertial upper stage (IUS) rocket, sending them on a path through the inner solar system to gain speed through gravity assist planetary flybys. The trajectory, which the spacecraft followed was...
