Abstract

The special requirements imposed by planetary missions require that the spacecraft which are designed to conduct them have certain unique properties as platforms for optical instruments. This paper will provide a general overview of these properties and discuss in some detail a current state-of-the-art planetary platform, the Galileo planetary spacecraft.
