Some Useful Galileo Times

See also a table of recording periods compiled by Claudia Alexander and table of data availability and archive dates compiled by Joe Groene.

The following list should help in determining the range of useful times for plotting Galileo PWS low rate data. Included are the mission phase, the general time range for which there are data (times not accurate to better than about 10 minutes) and the "data set" which should/could be used to display the data. Also noted are special times like satellite closest approach times, etc.
