No. The Galileo space probe did not orbit Earth, though it did get a gravitational assist. It orbited Jupiter from 1995 until 2003 before it was sent into Jupiter, where it was destroyed.

While still in controllable the spacecraft was placed on a course to crash into Planet Jupiter, a manoeuvre designed to eliminate the risk of Galileo colliding with the moon Europa and contaminating its pristine surface.
