Scientific paper

The mission goals, control parameters, and instrumentation for the Galileo entry probe are described. The goal for the probe is to penetrate the Jovian atmosphere to 10 bars, begin data gathering and transmission at about 0.1 bar, and make as many in-situ cloud measurements as possible. The probe will pass through a 16,000 K shock layer, which has led to a ratio of 5 kg of heat shield to every kg of instrumentation on the probe. An entry angle between -7.0 to -10.2 deg will be used, and possible targets with respect to declinations associated with a 1986 launch are discussed. The preentry mission phase, entry/descent sequence, and the baseline mission relay link performance are outlined. Data may be available down to 20 bars, and the probe performance will aid in design goals for subsequent Saturn and Uranus probes.
