Legacy of Jupiter Exploration
Galileo Mission
Jupiter Impact September 2003
Share the discoveries and the drama of NASA’s Galileo mission, which cut a swath across
the solar system and studied Jupiter and its moons for nearly eight years. On Sept. 21.
the mission will end when the hardy spacecraft plunges into the crushing pressure of
Jupiter’s atmosphere. The planned maneuver prevents the risk of Galileo drifting to an
unwanted impact with the moon Europa, which may harbor a subsurface ocean.
