          The Neutral Mass Spectrometer (NMS)
                          PDS3 CERTIFIED















Probe Science Instrument Layout


The Galileo Probe Mass Spectrometer (GPMS) was a Probe instrument designed to measure the chemical and isotopic composition including vertical variations of the constituents in the atmosphere of Jupiter. The measurement was performed by in situ sampling of the ambient atmosphere in the pressure range from approximately 150 mbar to 20 bar. In addition batch sampling was performed for noble gas composition measurement and isotopic ratio determination and for sensitivity enhancement of non-reactive trace gases..
