During preliminary analysis of Galileo Orbit 1 Great Red Spot data, the value of Hubble Space Telescope in supporting the Galileo mission has been proven. Due to Galileo's limited data rate and the small imaging field of view, HST has become vital in understanding the global perspective of this data. In the last three orbits of the nominal Galileo mission {June-Dec. 1997}, over 50 Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer {NIMS} data at 0.7-5.2 Mum will be taken. With Jupiter near opposition, WFPC2 images will have 16 times the areal resolution of the NIMS data and will contribute fill factor information for interpreting the NIMS chemical anomaly {vertical convection} maps to better understand deep circulation and vertical structure. Filters and observing sequences have been chosen to optimize global Jupiter coverage and photometry, while minimizing the effects of vignetting in the WFPC2 methane filters and the limited spectral range of NICMOS. This data will be directly combine d with HST Cycles 1-6 and groundba sed data to better understand the temporal variability of the troposphere and lower stratosphere.
