When was the 'Galileo' space mission launched what were it's goal?
It was launched on October 18,1989 and arrived December 7, 1995. It was sent to Jupiter to explore the planet and to study it's moons. It had an anttena problem but despite that it was the first do discover an asteroid moon and the first to be in Jupiter's atmosphere.
Has NASA been to Jupiter?
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.
How many years would it take to get from earth to Jupiter?
The Galileo Spacecraft was launched October 18th, 1989, and entered the orbit of Jupiter December 7th, 1995. The total trip time was reduced by gravity slingshots past Venus and Earth, making the total trip time a little over six years.
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.
Has a spacecraft ever visited this planet or moon and in what year?
A spacecraft left earth in late 1957 and returned in early 1958. Other than human spacecraft, no alien space craft has ever left or come to visit our planet, that we know of. It is possible some alien space craft may have visited earth millions of years ago. It is highly unlikely any craft has done so within the past few centuries.
What spaceship orbited Jupiter?
The spaceship that orbited Jupiter was the Galileo spacecraft. It was launched by NASA in 1989 with the mission to study Jupiter and its moons. Galileo provided valuable data and images of Jupiter and its moons until it was deliberately crashed into the planet in 2003 to avoid contaminating the moon Europa.
What planet was explored by the Magellan spacecraft?
The Magellan spacecraft was launched to study Venus by NASA on May 4th 1989.
Where there astronauts on Galileo?
No, Galileo was an unmanned spacecraft that was launched by NASA in 1989 to study the planet Jupiter and its moons. It did not carry any astronauts on board.
What probes have visited Jupiter?
Pioneer 10 1973; Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 1979; The Galileo spacecraft 1989; Ulysses 1992

Where is spacecraft Galileo now?
Voyager 1 is about 109 AU (10 billion miles) from the Sun and has passed the termination shock, [See Link] and is entering the heliosheath, with the current goal of reaching and studying the heliopause, which is the known boundary of our stellar system.
Has a spacecraft from earth ever visited Neptune?
Yes, the Voyager 2 probe visited all four gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. It flew by Neptune in 1989.
When did Jason Jupiter happen?
Jason Jupiter happened in 1989.
When was Jason Jupiter created?
Jason Jupiter was created in 1989.
How did Galileo go to Jupiter?
The planet Jupiter was known long before Galileo lived. It is visible in the sky with the naked eye. Galileo discovered that the planet Jupiter has moons. He was able to see four of them and made important observations about their orbits and phases. This was a result of his improvement in the design of the telescope.
What country was deployed in Afghanistan during 1979 through 1989?
The Soviet Union .
