Abstract:

Contrary to design assumptions and the original flight plan, a decision was made to energize the Galileo Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (NIMS) cover heater prior to ejecting the covers. The cover failed to deploy until the heater was switched off.

The lesson offers recommendations that would deter untested flight sequences and incomplete reviews of mission operations flight rules.
