Upgraded computer software programs were transmitted to Galileo’s on-board computer system. On Earth, new technology was used to greatly sharpen the hearing of the telecommunications equipment that was receiving Galileo’s “whisper” of a signal. Scientists located at various laboratories, linked by computer, were involved in developing the sequences affecting their experiments. In some cases, they helped to change preplanned sequences loaded into Galileo’s computers to follow up on unexpected discoveries with second looks.
