  10. Because of the proximity to the sun during the Venus swingby, the Galileo
  11. project managers realized that the antenna, and some other delicate equipment, 
  12. required shielding from the solar flux. Therefore, the opening of the antenna 
  13. was delayed until Galileo was relatively far from the Sun.
