Actually there is one piece of information missing here. In a conventional
rocket most of the exhaust is being used to push more fuel closer to orbit.
In an antimatter rocket, you have a much higher payload/fuel ratio, so for
the same payload, there will be much less exhaust.

After the Earth flyby when the thermal conditions are more favorable, the
deployment motors will be pulsed to hammer the ballscrew which drives the
shaft which opens the antenna. An additonal 1.5 revolution turn of the
ballscrew is expected.
>What is the confidence that *some* technique will succeed?
The best news occurred in the past week when the motors were
turned on twice for a two second duration each time. The data indicates
ballscrew had turned and this provides a lot of confidence in the
upcoming pulsing attempt.

The exact day hasn't been determined yet, but it will be in either December or
January. The Earth flyby in on December 8.

If that doesn't work....
Has anyone considered the possibility of spinning the probe
very fast along the axis of the antenna? Perhaps the centriptal force
might pull the antenna into place.

Forwarded from Neal Ausman, Galileo Mission Director
GALILEO
MISSION DIRECTOR STATUS REPORT
POST-LAUNCH
July 17 - 23, 1992
SPACECRAFT
1. On July 17, realtime commands were sent to verify the commandability of
the spacecraft following the Command Processor Assembly (CPA) configuration
problem on Wednesday, July 15. A single frame command followed by a
multi-frame command were sent and successfully received by the spacecraft.
2. On July 19, real-time commands, previously attempted on July 15 and
unsuccessfully received by the spacecraft, were sent to change the System Fault
Protection (SFP) to turn off the LGA-2 (Low Gain Antenna #2) motor if the
sequence memory load is terminated. This change prevents a continuous
undervoltage situation in the low probability scenario of a relay failure
causing a DC bus short circuit while retracting the LGA-2 antenna. The
commands were successfully received by the spacecraft (see Special Topic
No. 2).
3. On July 20, the Dual Drive Actuator (DDA) pulse/Low Gain Antenna 2 (LGA-2)
stow sequence memory load was sent to the spacecraft. The sequence was loaded
on the spacecraft without incident (see Special Topic No. 2).
4. On July 20, realtime commands were sent to insert sun gate data into
telemetry Map 1 variable Packet No. 9. This change will allow wobble data and
sun gate data to be obtained simultaneously during the DDA pulse/LGA-2 stow
mini-sequence (see Special Topic No. 2).
5. On July 21, realtime commands were sent to change the System Fault
Protection (SFP) AACS-INIT (Attitude and Articulation Control Subsystem)
pointing slot from the Earth to the Sun prior to the DDA pulse/LGA-2 stow
activities. This change will allow the spacecraft to return to a sun-pointed
attitude if an AACS Power on Reset (POR) occurs during DDA pulse/LGA-2 stow
activities (see Special Topic No. 2).
6. On July 21, the DDA pulse/LGA-2 stow sequence memory load went active.
The warming turn to a 31-degree off-sun attitude commenced at approximately
1757 UTC and completed at 1804 UTC. The first of two motor turn on pulses
occurred at 1946 UTC for approximately 2 seconds, as planned. The DDA motor
temperature was approximately minus 25 degrees C at turn on. Initial results
indicate the motor stalled at 100 milliseconds with inconclusive evidence of
ballscrew rotation (see Special Topic No. 2).
7. On July 22, after approximately 24 hours at the warming attitude, the
second motor turn on pulse occurred at 1801 UTC for approximately 2 seconds,
as planned. The DDA motor temperature was approximately minus 6 degrees C at
turn on. Initial results are that the motor stalled at 126 milliseconds
indicating some ballscrew rotation occurred. Additionally, the spacecraft
under stored sequence control, was commanded back to a 5 degree off-sun
attitude at approximately 18:07 UTC. After the sun acquisition, sun gate data
was collected to determine if an antenna rib is still obscuring the sun gate
signal. Data analysis indicates that the sun gate is still obscured,
indicating no ribs released (see Special Topic No. 2).
8. On July 23, the Low Gain Antenna (LGA-2) motors were turned on at
approximately 1946 UTC for a duration of 16 seconds to stow the LGA-2 antenna
and collect spacecraft dynamics data from the activity. Additionally, realtime
commands were sent to perform an open loop wobble compensation. Data analysis
is in progress.
9. During the week, the DC bus imbalance reading has continued to change
significantly. The DC measurement has ranged from 92DN (10.6 volts) to 151DN
(17.8 volts) and now reads 108DN (12.5 volts). This measurement variation is
consistent with the model developed by the AC/DC special anomaly team. The AC
measurement has remained relatively unchanged and reads 3.1 volts.
10. The Spacecraft status as of July 23, 1992, is as follows:
a) System Power Margin - 51 watts
b) Spin Configuration - Dual-Spin
c) Spin Rate/Sensor - 3.15 rpm/Acquisition Sensor
d) Spacecraft Attitude is approximately 5 degrees
off-sun (leading)
e) Downlink telemetry rate/antenna-40 bps (coded)/LGA-1
f) General Thermal Control - all temperatures within
acceptable range
g) RPM Tank Pressures - all within acceptable range
h) Orbiter Science- UVS, EUV, DDS, MAG, EPD, and HIC are
powered on
i) Probe/RRH - powered off, temperatures within
acceptable range
j) CMD Loss Timer Setting - 264 hours
Time To Initiation - 263 hours
UPLINK GENERATION/COMMAND REVIEW AND APPROVAL:
1. The Dual Drive Actuator (DDA) pulse/LGA-2 stow mini-sequence memory load
was approved for transmission by the Project on July 17, 1992. This
mini-sequence covers spacecraft activities from July 21, 1992 to July 24, 1992.
2. The EE-7 (Earth-Earth 7) final sequence and command generation package was
approved by the Project on July 23, 1992. This sequence covers spacecraft
activities from August 10, 1992 to November 23, 1992.
TRAJECTORY
As of noon Thursday, July 23, 1992, the Galileo Spacecraft trajectory
status was as follows:
Distance from Earth 125,608,000 miles (1.35 AU)
Distance from Sun 166,926,000 miles (1.80 AU)
Heliocentric Speed 46,300 miles per hour
Distance from Jupiter 670,891,000 miles
Round Trip Light Time 22 minutes, 38 seconds
SPECIAL TOPIC
1. As of July 23, 1992, a total of 8062 real-time commands have been
transmitted to Galileo since Launch. Of these, 3190 were pre-planned in the
sequence design and 4872 were not. In the past week, 28 real time commands
were transmitted; 25 were pre-planned in the sequence design and 3 were not.
In addition, 5453 mini-sequence commands have been transmitted since March
1991; 3201 were pre-planned and 2252 were not. In the past week, 414
mini-sequence commands were transmitted. Major command activities this week
included commands to verify the commandability of the spacecraft, update the
System Fault Protection (SFP), uplink the DDA pulse/LGA-2 stow sequence memory
load, update the telemetry map variable packets, and perform wobble
compensation.
2. The High Gain Antenna (HGA) DDA pulse/LGA-2 stow activities are scheduled
from July 21 to July 24, 1992. The warming turn to a 31 degree off-sun
attitude along with the first DDA two second motor turn on was performed on
July 21. The spacecraft remained at the warming attitude for approximately
24 hours. The second DDA motor turn on was performed on July 22 just prior
to the spacecraft turning back to a 5 degree off-sun attitude. Sun gate data
was collected after the sun acquisition completed. The LGA-2 motors were
turned on for 16 seconds on July 23 and the LGA-2 antenna was successfully
stowed. The star scanner checkout, along with collection of sun gate and
wobble data is scheduled during the July 23-24 time period.
