FOC is the only imaging instrument able to resolve Jovianauroral features more accurately than 100 km (0.030 arcsec)and to locate them better than 200 km. This is needed todistinguish between the surface footprints of various thinadjacent layers in the outer magnetosphere (OM) where Ulyssesand Voyager identified quite different plasma processes. Weplan to monitor the aurorae when Galileo travels between 50and 10-20 R_J on selected orbits where enough in-situ measurementsallow to best characterize the state of the magnetosphere. Thishappens in orbits G2, C3 and C9 (01-06 september 1996, 01-07 november1996, 22-31 june 1997).We will also try, as much as possible, to schedule the observationswhen the footprint of Io is visible on the dayside of Jupiter,in order to monitor its variation in various configurations, so asto provide constraints in the interpretation of the in-situmagnetic field and plasma data taken in the near vicinity of Ioduring the Io flyby.Complementary GHRS spectra dedicated to particle energy diagnosticat the footprint of Galileo, and emphasized in the TAC recommendations,are planned to be obtained with the repeat program 5440 for which thebest observing conditions are first week of september 1996.Correlated analysis with the particle and field in-situ data bymagnetic field mapping, a technique successfully used for Earth'smagnetosphere studies, is guaranteed by the involvment of majorGalileo Team Members.This opportunity, unique in our lifetime, will allow
