Galileo was an American robotic space probe that studied the planet Jupiter and its moons, as well as the asteroids Gaspra and Ida.Named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, it consisted of an orbiter and an entry probe.
Named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, the Galileo spacecraft consisted of an orbiter and an atmospheric entry probe. It was delivered into Earth orbit on October 18, 1989, by Space Shuttle Atlantis on the STS-34 mission, and arrived at Jupiter on December 7, 1995, after gravity assist flybys of Venus and Earth , and became the ...
A probe equipped with a Direct Fusion Drive (DFD) propulsion system, planned to orbit and land on Pluto. [143] 2 Shensuo: IHP-1: May 2024 N/A CNSA: Flyby Planned A proposed probe in the Shensuo program (Chinese: 神梭), planned to launch alongside IHP-2 and the proposed IHP-3. IHP-1 will use gravity assists from Earth in October 2025 and ...

The Galileo spacecraft was the first to have entered orbit around Jupiter, arriving in 1995 and studying the planet until 2003. During this period Galileo gathered a large amount of information about the Jovian system, making close approaches to all of the four large Galilean moons and finding evidence for thin atmospheres on three of them, as ...
The trip from Earth to Jupiter, the probe's exploration of the Jovian atmosphere, and an orbiter tour consisting of 11 orbits of Jupiter constituted Galileo ' s primary mission. On Jupiter Arrival Day (7 December 1995), the Galileo spacecraft was given a gravity-assist from Io and then subjected to the Jupiter orbit insertion (JOI) maneuver ...
The 1802 was used in many spacecraft and space science programs, experiments, projects and modules such as the Galileo spacecraft, [27] Magellan, [28] the Plasma Wave Analyzer instrument on ESA's Ulysses spacecraft, various Earth-orbiting satellites [29] and satellites carrying amateur radio. [30] The 1802 was used in NASA's Hubble Space ...
