Abstract:

Galileo design optimizations over the years exacerbated interactions between spacecraft power and the propellant tanks. During the cruise phase, high power and heat dissipation near the propellant tanks combined with an enhanced tank load to increase the tank pressure.

A thorough analysis should be conducted before changes are made to one or more of the flight project elements that occur late in the development cycle or well into the test program.
