Talk:Galileo project

message: Is there anyone who can explain why GalileO and not GalileI is the name? I would say that the surname is Galilei, so it is named for his first name? Why?

thread_title:  Name 

message: The article says "The PLS will measure particles in the energy range from 9 volts to 52 kilovolts." Energy is in joules, not volts. I presume that the author is referring to the 'electronvolt'. What do you think? Bobblewik  (talk) 17:36, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Is it worth a section on the impact of Galileo on later deep space missions by NASA? The planning of the project began in the mid-1970s but the design was frozen before the Voyager results could be fully interpreted. As a result the Jupiter atmosphere probe had less scientific interest than a probe of Europa. Arguably a consequence of Galileo was the 'faster, quicker, cheaper' NASA ethos of the 1990s.

thread_title:  Impact of mission 

message: I was watching a documentary last night and I think it said that Galileo has Mozart's The Magic Flute, a song by Chuck Berry, and greetings in 60 languages on board. Is this true or did I mishear it? If so, does anyone know what the Chuck Berry song is. Lastly, is it worth including in the article? Dgen 23:22, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That was the Voyager Spaceprobes. You can go straight to the Voyager Golden Record and read more about the music. Regarding Chuck Berry it was Johnny B. Goode. He also played a live concert at the Voyager launch. RhinoMind (talk) 01:32, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

message: This spacecraft spent 8 years in orbit of Jupiter and took no pictures of the planet ?  What a waste. 65.92.244.134 11:02, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know what prompted these questions, as Galileo certainly did take pictures of Jupiter.  Most of the "Top Ten Science Images" at the JPL Galileo gallery are of Jovian moons, but two are of the plant itself: "A Different View of Jupiter's Great Red Spot" and "Jovian Lightning and Moonlit Clouds" and the Jupiter section of the JPL Galileo gallery has subpages for each of the 17 orbits.  The camera was just one of many instruments onboard, and the HG antenna problems certainly did limit what could be sent back.  I assume that the original plan was for imagery to make up much more than the 25% of the downlink limit they set for use of the LG antenna. -- ToET 15:38, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Eight Years 

message: Back when the probe dropped into the atmosphere, a group of engineers at JPL adapted the lyrics of Tom Petty's song Free Fallin' as a sort of theme song. They used to be posted to the web, but I can't find them now. Anyone remember the site, or the lyrics? If they can be ref'ed, I'd like to add this bit to the song's article.

thread_title: Sorry, but this is no way a GA!!

message: "maximum of 160 bits per second" ... "total amount of data transmitted throughout the mission to about 30 gigabytes"
I tagged the above with dubious because (160 * 3600 * 24 * 365) / 8 = 630720000 bytes per year, or 630 megabytes; 30 gigabytes implies Galileo operated for over 45 years, did it? Instead, 30 gigabits is plausible, but these numbers need citations in any case. -84user (talk) 01:25, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The section on the atmospheric probe describes its makeup and mechanical performance well, but says nothing about (and does not point to references about) the data it returned, how the data has been interpreted, how it forced revisions of models of Jupiter.

thread_title: Galileo probe results

message: The article states that the RCA 1802 CPU was also used on Viking and Voyager...however, if you read the Wikipedia article about the 1802, it specifically states that this microprocessor was not used on Viking or Voyager.  Either this article is mistaken, or the RCA 1802 article is flawed.  Any takers?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Melvinlusk (talk • contribs) 02:44, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In the "Orbital parameters - reference system" infobox heading, it says Geocentric orbit. That's clearly incorrect for a probe orbiting Jupiter. Since orbiters of other planets use a Greek-rooted adjectival form (e.g. "Areocentric" for Mars, "Hermiocentric" for Mercury, "Cytherocentric" for Venus), Jovian orbiters should be "Zenocentric" and I'm changing the infobox to reflect this.

message: The use of "human" in this sentence seems silly.
"...Galileo performed the first asteroid encounter by a human spacecraft..."
First, it's not a human-crewed spacecraft.
Second... is this seriously accounting for some known non-human spacecraft?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.119.204.117 (talk) 01:35, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Gaspra encounter timing 

message: This article was supposed to be the splitting of the section on the spacecraft itself, with the main article being moved to Galileo program. The move was done incorrectly, with the talk page and the history remaining here rather than on the main article. It's very easy to fix, but one needs admin rights to do it, which I don't. Tercer (talk) 10:38, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The split was conducted in accordance with the procedure laid down in WP:CORRECTSPLIT. This article is about the spacecraft. Our procedure does not call for the article history to be moved, but for the split to be acknowledged in the history, which it is , using the required pro forma from WP:COPYWITHIN.  As for the talk page, nearly everything on it is related to this article, and not Galileo program, and the procedure does not call for copying the talk page. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:20, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course it hasn't. The procedure is to leave the main article in place, and create a new page for the subarticle. You did the opposite. Tercer (talk) 06:11, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Botched split 

message: When speaking of the entire project versus the actual Galileo spacecraft, NASA refers to it as the 'Galileo mission' rather than a program. In NASA terminology, 'programs' are usually something that involves multiple separate spacecrafts, such as Discovery or New Frontiers. (See also: Template:NASA planetary exploration programs) Kind regards, Hms1103 (talk) 02:13, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: There were three missions: the original mission, the Galileo Europa Mission, and the Galileo Millennium Mission. But only one spacecraft. We listed the James Webb Space Telescope as a program. But I was thinking of is as a program in the budgetary sense. I don't know what the NASA terminology is. NASA's history refers to it as the "Galileo project" . I would have no objection to the article being renamed "Galileo project". Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:01, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I moved this section here from Galileo program, and moved the page as well to Galileo project, fixing the split. Tercer (talk) 09:14, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the GA nomination since the article has been deleted. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 10:43, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is this really a program? 

message: So, the top of the article contains multiple links to different related pages, and now I think it's likely that a second page named "Galileo Project" should be created, for the Galileo Project started by Avi Loeb to look for evidence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. Perhaps this article should be renamed something like "Galileo Project (Jupiter Mission)", and the other can be called "Galileo Project (UAP investigation)"?

message: The section on the launch says that 
> Galileo would later also study this.
The previous sentence gives no context as to what "this" is referring to. Perhaps sentences got re-ordered in the history and need to be put back in the right order? Or should this sentence be removed entirely?

thread_title:  Galileo studied what? 

message: I'd like to do some clean up of the GA subpages associated with this article and with Galileo (spacecraft).  I understand that the pages came from a content split, but I think the names are out of sync with the pages they are considered to be reviews of.  The subpages are:
* Talk:Galileo (spacecraft)/GA1 - linked on this page in article history, but has the other page name
* Talk:Galileo (spacecraft)/GA2 - linked on Talk:Galileo (spacecraft)  
* Talk:Galileo project/GA1 - linked on this page
The first one was before the content split.  I think it's up to the editors of this page to decide whether that review is more suitably associated with this page or the other one, but if it's here I think it should have the right name.  Assuming it should be here, I propose to do the following moves:
* Talk:Galileo project/GA1 -> Talk:Galileo project/GA2 without leaving a redirect
* Talk:Galileo (spacecraft)/GA1 -> Talk:Galileo project/GA1 without leaving a redirect
* Talk:Galileo (spacecraft)/GA2 -> Talk:Galileo (spacecraft)/GA1 without leaving a redirect
I would then make sure article_history on each talk page reflects the correct links in each case.  Any comments before I make the moves? Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 15:02, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
