GALILEO SPACECRAFT

Image 1: The Galileo spacecraft mounted atop the inertial upper stage (IUS) is tilted to a 58-degree deployment position by deployment equipment aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis. The bluish-white glow on the left is Earth.

Low sun angles near the terminator (day-night boundary near the left side of the image) offer lighting conditions which emphasize the topography or relief on the volcanic satellite.
