00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:33,280 is in the camera system where we're 155 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,350 is in the camera system where we're using the same optical system same 156 00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:35,360 using the same optical system same 157 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,670 using the same optical system same telescope if you will that voyager did 158 00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:37,680 telescope if you will that voyager did 159 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,149 telescope if you will that voyager did but instead of having a relatively slow 160 00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:40,159 but instead of having a relatively slow 161 00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:43,270 but instead of having a relatively slow and insensitive vidicon tube 162 00:03:43,270 --> 00:03:43,280 and insensitive vidicon tube 163 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,670 and insensitive vidicon tube such as was used in tv cameras in the 164 00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:45,680 such as was used in tv cameras in the 165 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,589 such as

--> 00:04:25,120 which if you will is a little bit like a 201 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,110 which if you will is a little bit like a landsat type device 202 00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:27,120 landsat type device 203 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,790 landsat type device giving us images in many different 204 00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:28,800 giving us images in many different 205 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,749 giving us images in many different spectral bands and we'll have about 300 206 00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:31,759 spectral bands and we'll have about 300 207 00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:33,670 spectral bands and we'll have about 300 different spectral bands what this means 208 00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:33,680 different spectral bands what this means 209 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,469 different spectral bands what this means is we'll have from this device pictures 210 00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:36,479 is we'll have from this device pictures 211 00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:38,550 is we'll have from this device pictures with relatively modest resolution 212 00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:38,560 with relatively modest resolution 213 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,030 with relatively modest resolution spatially but with where each pixel 214 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:41,040 spatially but with where each pixel 215 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,270 spatially but with where each pixel element within the picture will have a 216 00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:43,280 element within the picture will have a 217 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,189 element within the picture will have a 300 channel spectrum attached we're 218 00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:45,199 300 channel spectrum attached we're 219 00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:46,870 300 channel spectrum attached we're going to be using this in both jupiter 220 00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:46,880 going to be using this in both jupiter 221 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,830 going to be using this in both jupiter and the satellites to map composition on 222 00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:49,840 and the satellites to map composition on 223 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,670 and the satellites to map composition on their surfaces study the characteristics 224 00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:51,680 their surfaces study the characteristics 225 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,230 their surfaces study the characteristics of jovian clouds find out where ices are 226 00:04:54,230 --> 00:04:54,240 of jovian clouds find out where ices are 227 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,310 of jovian clouds find out where ices are on the surface try to identify the 228 00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:56,320 on the surface try to identify the 229 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,070 on the surface try to identify the materials frozen out on the surface of 230 00:04:58,070 --> 00:04:58,080 materials frozen out on the surface of 231 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,430 materials frozen out on the surface of io for instance 232 00:05:01,430 --> 00:05:01,440 233 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,150 enroute to jupiter galileo will pick up 234 00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:04,160 enroute to jupiter galileo will pick up 235 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,870 enroute to jupiter galileo will pick up energy by utilizing gravity assists 236 00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:06,880 energy by utilizing gravity assists 237 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,430 energy by utilizing gravity assists while traveling once by venus and twice 238 00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:09,440 while traveling once by venus and twice 239 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,710 while traveling once by venus and twice by earth 240 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:10,720 by earth 241 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,710 by earth in addition to the bonus of studying 242 00:05:12,710 --> 00:05:12,720 in addition to the bonus of studying 243 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,189 in addition to the bonus of studying these two planets and earth's moon 244 00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:15,199 these two planets and earth's moon 245 00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:17,990 these two planets and earth's moon galileo will perform close flybys on one 246 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:18,000 galileo will perform close flybys on one 247 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,390 galileo will perform close flybys on one or two asteroids never before closely 248 00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:20,400 or two asteroids never before closely 249 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,029 or two asteroids never before closely observed 250 00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:25,039 251 00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:26,790 then galileo will rendezvous with 252 00:05:26,790 --> 00:05:26,800 then galileo will rendezvous with 253 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,990 then galileo will rendezvous with jupiter and its moons in 1995. 254 00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:32,000 255 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,990 this unique trajectory will allow 256 00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:34,000 this unique trajectory will allow 257 00:05:34,000 -->
