Jupiter has at least 67 moons (natural satellites) that have been observed and charted. 50 of these are named and the others provisionally designated.
There are no space probes currently in orbit of the planet. Galileo was crashed there in 2003, and NASA's Juno spacecraft will arrive in 2016.
Technically, none have ... As soon as a spacecraft leaves Earth orbit, it's no
longer a "satellite" of the Earth. It MAY still be a satellite of the sun, but it
doesn't necessarily need to be.
The exploration of Jupiter began with the arrival of Pioneer 10 into the Jovian
system in 1973, and, as of 2008, has continued with seven further spacecraft
missions. The Juno spacecraft was launched in 2011, and is planned to enter
polar orbit of Jupiter in 2016. Plans for more missions to the Jovian system are
under development, none of which is scheduled to arrive there before 2016.
These probes make Jupiter the most visited of the Solar System's outer
planets, as all missions to the outer planets must flyby Jupiter to increase the
speed of the probe without needing an excessive amount of fuel that will both
be expensive and weigh it down. Sending a craft to Jupiter entails many technical
difficulties, especially due to the probes' large fuel requirements and the effects of
the planet's harsh radiation environment.
As of early 2011, sixty-three (63) natural satellites of Jupiter have been observed
and their orbits calculated. There are undoubtedly more yet to be discovered.
Jupiter has 63 moons and Saturn has 60.
63 as of 2004

Jupiter has more natural satellites than any other known world.
Jupiter has four large satellites, but they are not the four largest in the solar system. Jupiter has the largest, 3rd, 4th, and 6th largest satellites. Saturn has the 2nd largest and Earth has the 5th largest satellite. (Naturally I mean "natural satellites", otherwise called moons.)
There are three rings I don't know about satellites
there has been 7 man made satellites sent to Saturn.
At this moment Jupiter has 63 moons and moonlets Saturn has 60
Yes they do have natural satellites.
no,the largest no. of satellites is in the family of jupiter.
Jupiter has 63 moons or satellites.
All the gas giants are known to have rings; Saturn's are by far the most prominent. As far as moons are concerned, Jupiter and Saturn are in a virtual tie; both of them have around 60 known satellites. ______________________ If you include artificial satellites, Earth leads the pack. With only natural satellites counted, Jupiter has more moons (63 and counting) while Saturn has most of the rings. Jupiter and Uranus have very small and dim ring systems.
there is no satellites orbiting Saturn
jupiter has the maximum number of satellites.... of almost 63 moons
The Earth's Moon, Jupiter's four "Galilean" satellites, Saturn's "Titan", and Neptune's "Triton".
No, Saturn is known to have more moons than Jupiter, though most of these are tiny moonlets orbiting in Saturn's rings.
Both Jupiter and Saturn have around that number of moons. But Jupiter is often regarded as having around 60 charted moons and Saturn around 50.
Saturn is a planet with thousands of rings. There are three other planets in the solar system with rings, which are Jupiter, Neptune, and Uranus.
There are 27 satellites on Saturn!!!!
Yes, Jupiter has many satellites.
