The 53-day orbit (rather than the originally planned orbit) produced certain challenges for the GS experiment, which required signals to be sent between the DSN on Earth and the spacecraft. It was possible to make measurements, although various configurations were tried for the first five Perijoves

It was possible to use the data from the observations, and from just the first two Perijoves the accuracy of Jupiter's gravity field record was increased by factor of five according to one report. This data allowed further insight to Jupiter's internal structure.

The GS experiment uses Deep Space Network's DSS-25 antenna which is equipped with simultaneous dual X- and Ka-band transmitters and receivers, as well as the spacecraft which also has X and Ka-band radio systems.

The GS was planned out to be used on orbits 4, orbit 9, and orbits 10 through 32. When GS operates it must point its antenna at Earth, and is not operated simultaneously with the
