Entry Time
[edit]I've corrected the suggestion that the Probe entered Jupiter five hours later than scheduled. Not only is there no reference to this anywhere else, but that would be an incredible error for a space mission planned literally down to the second. On checking the reference given, it was a timeline in EST, which is five hours ahead of UTC, so a probe entry time of 17:04 EST is the same as 22:04 UTC (actual entry time).
There is a 1992 article giving the predicted entry time as 22:04 UTC, so in fact probe entry was exactly on time.[1] Sjbradshaw (talk) 21:10, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
- Great info and argumentation. I wrote it in the first place. And without any explanation or other references it looked exactly like five hours delayed.
- Why would it be "an incredible error"? I see many reasons for such an accumulation of delays and I don't see why it was of any specific importance to "be on time" with the entry. Anyway, great reffing and explaining. That's what we need! RhinoMind (talk) 03:45, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Entry speed
[edit]How could the probe's entry speed be 47.8 km/s? It had no way of decelerating until it hit atmosphere, so this speed would be Jupiter escape speed, 59 km/s, plus a little. 69.63.52.108 (talk) 10:09, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
- As far as I know the probe was dropped from the orbiting Galileo Spacecraft. It is important to know the difference between the two. Because of this, I don't see any reason to introduce the Jupiter escape speed in relation to the Galileo Probe. RhinoMind (talk) 15:06, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello. The ref below belongs to some obscure entry above. I don't know which entry, but maybe some editor can help out? RhinoMind (talk) 15:03, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
