The Galileo Probe had COSPAR ID 1989-084E while the orbiter had id 1989-084B. [70] Names for the spacecraft include Galileo Probe or Jupiter Entry Probe abbreviated JEP. [71] The related COSPAR IDs of the Galileo mission were: [72] 1989-084A STS 34; 1989-084B Galileo; 1989-084C IUS (Orbus 21) 1989-084D IUS (Orbus 6E) 1989-084E Galileo Probe
Galileo was an American robotic space program that studied the planet Jupiter and its moons, as well as several other Solar System bodies. Named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei , the Galileo spacecraft consisted of an orbiter and an atmospheric entry probe.

Starting with Galileo's first orbit, the spacecraft's camera, the Solid-State Imager (SSI), began taking one or two images per orbit of Io while the moon was in Jupiter's shadow. This allowed Galileo to monitor high-temperature volcanic activity on Io by observing thermal emission sources across its surface. [68]
Without the translations in space and time the group is the homogeneous Galilean group. The Galilean group is the group of motions of Galilean relativity acting on the four dimensions of space and time, forming the Galilean geometry. This is the passive transformation point of view.
The Galileo project would have been considered a success even if the spacecraft had stayed operational only through the end of the primary mission on 7 December 1997, two years after Jupiter arrival. The orbiter was an extremely robust machine, however, with many backup systems.
STS-34 was a NASA Space Shuttle mission using Atlantis. It was the 31st shuttle mission overall, and the fifth flight for Atlantis. [1] STS-34 launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on October 18, 1989, and landed at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on October 23, 1989. During the mission, the Jupiter-bound Galileo probe was deployed ...
Newton posited an absolute space considered well-approximated by a frame of reference stationary relative to the fixed stars. An inertial frame was then one in uniform translation relative to absolute space. However, some "relativists", [10] even at the time of Newton, felt that absolute space was a defect of the formulation, and should be ...
