Project Galileo: Bringing Jupiter to Earth
Welcome to the Project Galileo Home Page! The Galileo spacecraft is currently enroute to
Jupiter, with arrival scheduled for December 7, 1995. At that time,
Galileo's atmospheric probe will plunge into Jupiter's atmosphere, relaying
information on the structure and composition of the solar system's
largest planet.
The spacecraft's orbiter
will then spend two years orbiting the giant planet, studying Jupiter
and its moons, and returning a steady stream of images and scientific
data. NASA's Galileo project is managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in
Pasadena, California.
The Galileo probe
development and operations is the responsibility of NASA's Ames Research Center
in Mountain View, California.

Galileo Amazing Fact of the Day
Jupiter has no solid surface; it is composed almost entirely of hydrogen and
helium and is hot enough inside to vaporize all elements. After the Galileo
probes's mission is completed, it will continue to sink into Jupiter until the
temperatures reach points that, in turn, cause various parts of the probe to
melt and then vaporize.
