I32

I32, occurs on October 16, 2001 at 1:26 UTC. During this flyby, Galileo will flyby over Io's south polar region at a close approach distance of 190 km. In addition to magnetospheric data, Galileo is scheduled to observe the south polar region at high resolution, Loki on the terminator, Pele at Night, Telegonus Mensae sapping scarp, Emakong, Tupan, Tohil Mons, Shamash, Prometheus, and Gish Bar. Many of these areas were scheduled to be imaged during the November 1999 flyby of Io, but due to a spacecraft safing event, these observations were lost.
