... In order to find evidence for any sensitivity variations with time, we used the first post-COSTAR observation of BD+28D4211 on SMS 94098 as a reference point for the 1200 data and divided all subsequent observations by this spectrum. Since no observations centered on 1500 were obtained on SMS 94098, we used the 1500 observations obtained on SMS 94164 for reference. Plots of individual ratioed spectra obtained early in the cycle which include error bars were shown in GHRS ISR 69 . ...

NASA Press Release Text - June 24, 1996 GALILEO READY FOR CLOSE FLYBY OF JUPITER'S BIGGEST MOON Now residing in orbit around Jupiter, NASA's Galileo spacecraft is primed for its first close flyby of Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, at 2:29 a.m. EDT on June 27, 1996. ... In the days just before and after the Ganymede flyby, Galileo's other studies will include a search for auroral activity on Jupiter's nightside and observations of other Jovian moons: Io, Europa and Callisto. ...
