Because the Galileo architecture did not provide for revolving, short-term storage of downlink data, ground control lacked insight into the cause of the incident.Missions should continuously buffer at least a small amount of high-rate telemetry as it is being downlinked

Description of Driving Event: A scan platform anomaly occurred 5 hours before Galileos August 1993 encounter with the asteroid Ida. During

4、a quiescent period in scan platform activity, it unexpectedly jerked. The fault response sequence interpreted the high rate of scan platform motion as a spacecraft gyro error and turned off the gyros. The flyby continued in cruise mode, using star-based platform pointing. Although the low data rates

5、 available from the low gain antenna provided poor insight into spacecraft condition, ground control received indications of at least 5 more incidences of unexpected platform motion during quiescent periods over the next few hours. Ida encounter continued successfully with the gyros off and with no

Consistent x-axis data from both gyros suggested that gyro hardware failure was improbable. Analysis did reveal that the anomaly woul

Instead, the first level fault protection (gyros off) allowed the sequence to continue imaging Ida. After the science data had been safely recorded and before the gyros
