Galileo's orbital tour at Jupiter will involve multiple close passes by the Galilean satellites, typically 10-100 times closer than Voyager encounters.

The Galileo spacecraft was fortuitously situated for a direct view of the impacts of comet ShoemakerЌevy 9 in Jupiter's atmosphere and measurements were recorded by the Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (NIMS) instrument ...

The impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter was recorded by near infrared mapping spectrometer (NIMS). Both the initial impact and the fallback of impact ejecta were recorded.

The Galileo spacecraft was fortuitously situated for a direct view of the impacts of the fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in Jupiter's atmosphere. The Galileo Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer instrument observed ...

Measurements of the high-energy, omnidirectional electron environment, and magnetic field by the Galileo spacecraft Energetic Particle Detector (EPD) and Magnetometer (MAG) were used to revise the original Divine and GIRE ...

From orbit around Jupiter, the Galileo spacecraft will take the closest look ever at the planet and its natural satellites.

The Galileo mission operations concept is undergoing substantial redesign, necessitated by the deployment failure of the High Gain Antenna, while the spacecraft is on its way to Jupiter.

Since 1995, the Galileo mission, despite all the technical troubles, has provided a detailed view of the Jovian system, revealed only fleetingly in the Pioneer and Voyager flybys of the 1970s. The atmospheric probe penetrated ...
