NASA has send probes to take photos of Jupiter and its moons starting with the Pioneer missions all the way back in the early 1970's and the Voyager Probes later that same decade. Probes have also been sent to fly by Jupiter in later years, most notably the Galileo Orbiter sent at the end of 1989. The orbiter also had and atmospheric entry probe that was separated and sent to enter Jupiter's gases and send back as much data as possible before being crushed by the tremendous pressure. The last Jupiter fly-by was by New Horizons a probe on it's way to Pluto. New Horizons used Jupiter as other outer solar system probes have, as a slingshot to propel them further out into space.

What are some satellites or robots on Jupiter?

Some examples of satellites or robots that have been sent to Jupiter include NASA's Juno spacecraft, which has been in orbit around Jupiter since 2016, and the Galileo spacecraft, which orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003. Additionally, the European Space Agency's JUICE (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) mission is planned to launch in 2022 to study Jupiter and its moons.


Has anybody ever tried to go to Jupiter?

In real life to date, we have only sent probes past Jupiter. In fiction, perhaps the most famous instances of manned missions to Jupiter are found in the novels of the late Arthur C. Clarke (2001: A Space Odyssey, and their sequels).


Who discovered Jupiter other than NASA?

Jupiter has been known since ancient times and was observed by various civilizations, including the Babylonians and Greeks. Galileo Galilei was the first to make detailed observations of Jupiter using a telescope in 1610, discovering its largest moons, known as the Galilean moons. Thus, while NASA has conducted extensive studies of Jupiter, its discovery predates the agency and is attributed to early astronomers like Galileo.


How did NASA know about Jupiter's moon Io?

Io was known long before the time of NASA. It was discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610.


Has anybody been to Jupiter?

Well, unless NASA has been keeping some major interplanetary travel secrets, no human has set foot on Jupiter. It's a gas giant with no solid surface, so landing there would be like trying to land on a fluffy cloud. Stick to exploring Earth for now, trust me.

How many people have been to jupiter?

None, the pressure in the atmosphere would kill them. No one has ever been to Jupiter and no one ever will because it is a Gas Giant and the craft will just go straight through it, if it were not destroyed by the winds and pressures in the atmosphere.


Have Jupiter been explored by nasa or other country?

Yes, Jupiter has been explored by NASA's Juno mission, which arrived in 2016 and continues to study the planet's atmosphere, magnetic field, and more. Other space agencies, such as the European Space Agency, have also sent missions to study Jupiter, including the JUICE mission set to launch in 2022.
