    Galileo Mission Overview

    NASA's Galileo spacecraft orbited Jupiter for almost eight years, and made close passes by its major moons.

    The spacecraft was launched from the cargo bay of space shuttle Atlantis on Oct. 18, 1989. It started orbiting Jupiter in December 1995. The primary mission was completed in December 1997, and then was extended three times. The mission ended when the spacecraft deliberately impacted Jupiter on Sept. 21, 2003.

    Galileo Quick Facts

    Launched into Earth orbit from the Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1989, the mission went on to orbit Jupiter 34 times.

    The orbiter weighed 2 1/2 tons (223 kilograms) at launch and measured 17 feet (5 .3 meters) from the top of the low-gain antenna to the bottom of the probe.
