Jupiter actually has many satellites. As of February 2004, Jupiter had a confirmed number of 63 satellites, ranging from the largest four, the Galilean moons, Ganymede, Io, Callisto, and Europa. 53-55 of Jupiter's satellites are tiny and unimportant, small space objects caught in the planet's gravity

What are the uses of the space travel?

1.Communication satillites help us to send messages from one country to another very fast. Even telephone and telivision transmission is amde fast with these satillites. 2.To take up research on the solar family, the stars and their movements etc. 3.Forecasting of a country's weather can be made. 4.To help navigation and air travel. 5.To locate minerals,water,petroleum etc.,hidden in the earth. 6.To know about the fish inside the seas and the oceans. 7.To create a clear understanding of the outer space. 8. To study X-rays and ultravoilet rays in our atmosphere and beyond that. 9.To prepare alloys, mixtures and vaccines in the outer space because they cannot be prepared on the earth. 10.To produce transistors and other electronic goods. 11.To study the cases of the diseasw like 'cancer'.
