Who was the first to land on Jupiter?

The first spacecraft to visit Jupiter was pioneer 10 in 1973, followed a few months later by Pioneer 11. Aside from taking the first close-up pictures of the planet, the probes discovered its magnetosphere and its largely fluid interior. The voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes visited the planet in 1979, and studied its moon and the ring system, discovering the volcanic activity of Io and the presence of water ice on the surface of Europa. Ulyssesfurther studied Jupiter's magnetosphere in 1992 and then again in 2000. The Cassini probe approached the planet in 2000 and took very detailed images of its atmosphere. The New Horizons spacecraft passed by Jupiter in 2007 and made improved measurements of its and its satellites' parameters.


What was the name of the space probe that crashed into Jupiter in 2003?

The Galileo spacecraft was de-orbited into Jupitor at the end of its mission in 2003. This was done so the spacecraft could not crash into one of Jupiter's moons and possibly contaminate it with life from earth. Experts were pretty sure that the Galileo spacecraft was not completely sterile.
