Summary[edit]

Description
English: This artist's rendering shows the Galileo orbiter arriving at Jupiter on Dec. 7, 1995. A few hours before arrival, the orbiter will have flown within about 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) of Jupiter's moon lo, shown as the crescent to the left of the spacecraft. The sun is visible between Io and the spacecraft, near the spacecraft's long magnetometer. Jupiter is to the right. A faint white streak above the planet's clouds shows the atmospheric probe beginning to decelerate before it deploys a parachute for its scientific mission to collect data. About an hour after the probe mission, Galileo fired its rockets and entered orbit around Jupiter. The mission ended on Sept. 21, 2003, when the orbiter was deliberately destroyed in Jupiter's crushing atmosphere.
