Just thought I would start a similar topic as the 'VOYAGER chronology' ... of course with nice diagrams

Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_of_moons#Jupiter
The table lists the names proposed for Jupiter VI to Jupiter XIII from the 50s to 70s. The name Amalthea for Jupiter V was apparently proposed by Camille Flammarion shortly after its discovery in 1892. References 10 and 13 link to two Icarus papers that should discuss the nomenclature issues, but I canīt access them ringt now. |

OK, speaking about chronology again. Here's the list of Pioneer 10 Jupiter flyby events (planned).
Times are evidently Spacecraft Event Time (SCET), UTC. 1973 Dec 03 Tp-14h 00m = 12:26 - Callisto, 1392300 km Tp-12h 30m = 13:56 - Ganymede, 446250 lm Tp-07h 00m = 19:26 - Europa, 321000 km Tp-03h 30m = 22:56 - Io, 357000 km 1973 Dec 04 Tp-00h 00m = 02:26:00 - Pericenter, H=130000 km Tp+00h 10m = 02:36 - Equator plane crossing Tp+00h 15m 45s = 02:41:45 - Io occultation entry Tp+00h 17m 16s = 02:43:16 - Io occultation exit Tp+01h 16m 25s = 03:42:25 - Jupiter occultation entry Tp+01h 49m 35s = 04:15:35 - Jupiter shadow entry Tp+02h 21m 21s = 04:47:21 - Jupiter occultation exit Tp+02h 41m = 05:07 - Jupiter shadow exit Note: for that day, ET = UTC + 44.184 sec, and ERT = SCET + 45 min 55 sec. |
