Trivia
In the original novel book the final message that HAL 9000 sends to planet Earth is "All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landing there". Hyams added two lines for the movie, "Use them together. Use them in peace", to give it more transcendence to the message in its sending to human race.

In 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), HAL tells Dave that his teacher was Mr. Langley. In this film, we are told that Dr. Chandra (Bob Balaban) was his teacher. This is actually not a continuity error. The novelization of 2001 identifies Dr. Chandra as HAL's teacher, but Stanley Kubrick changed that name for the film. Peter Hyams may not have known this, as he didn't make the corresponding change for this film. Mr. Langley and Dr. Chandra are really meant to be the same character.

Goofs
Numerous differences in the Discovery from 2001: A Space Odyssey, as director Stanley Kubrick deliberately had the models and sets destroyed. Also in 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL has flat display screens (note the pod bay interface); they are shown here as CRTs.

The AE35 high-gain antenna would not be used for short distance ship-to-ship communications, and thus the antenna would not have to be "turned away" from the Leonov since it would have remained pointed at Earth. Short distance communications would be accomplished with other 2-way radios. This was demonstrated in "2001" when Dave retrieved the body of Poole, all the while talking to Hal, without moving the AE35 antenna.

Near the end of the film, Dave asks HAL to point the AE35 antenna towards earth. HAL tells him that this will prevent him from communicating with the Leonov. The external shot which follows shows the AE35 moving, yet it starts off pointing downwards, not towards the Leonov. However, the AE35 is intended for long range communication, and would be needed once the Leonov moved away into trajectory toward Earth. That trajectory would be a long curve away from Jupiter, to meet Earth in a later part of its orbit. So the antenna would be able to transmit toward either, but not both. Earth would have better instruments than Leonov, for monitoring events.
