The Galileo spacecraft was de-orbited into Jupitor at the end of its mission in 2003. This was done so the spacecraft could not crash into one of Jupiter's moons and possibly contaminate it with life from earth. Experts were pretty sure that the Galileo spacecraft was not completely sterile.

Was Jupiter the planet visited by the Galileo probe in?
1995 to 2003.
When did the space shuttle Endeavour crash?
Space shuttle Endeavour has not crashed. The shuttles Challenger and Columbia disintegrated in January 1986 and February 2003 respectively.
What are the names and years of the space shuttles that crashed?
None of them crashed. Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart in 1986 due to a SRB explosion. Space Shuttle Columbia broke apart during reentry in 2003 due to a whole in it's left wing from foam from the ET hitting it during launch.
Has anybody been to Jupiter?
No. Nothing can land on Jupiter as it does not have a solid surface. However, one atmosphereic probe was sent to Jupiter in 1995, and the Galileo space probe was deliberate burned up in Jupiter's atmosphere in 2002.

What is one well known satellite that visited Jupiter?
The only probe that visited Jupiter and stayed for any length of time was the Galileo probe. Launch from Earth in 1989, it arrived at Jupiter in 1995, and orbited Jupiter and its moon until Sept. 2003, when,due to the deterioration of the orbiter, NASA crashed it into Jupiter's atmosphere. Both Voyagers and Cassini/Huyguens did fly-bys of the planet without going into orbit.
How many years was Galileo in space?
The Galileo space craft was launched on Oct 18, 1989 and was crashed into Jupiter on Sept. 21, 2003. This was the end of 14 year space mission.
Was Jupiter the planet visited by the Galileo probe in?
1995 to 2003.
Is Galileo still orbiting earth?
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.
Why did the Galileo space probe crash in to Jupiter when it ran out of fuel in 2003?
it was crashed (more likely destroyed, crushed and melted) into the gas giant planet Jupiter because it ran out of fuel and they didn't want it to contaminate any possible life on europa (jupters 6th moon)
Has Jupiter ever been visited by a spaccraft?
Yes. Jupiter has been visited on flyby missions by the space probes Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Ulysses, Cassini, and New Horizons. The space probe Galileo orbited Jupiter from 1995 until 2003. Upon arrival, it sent an atmospheric probe into Jupiter's atmosphere.
