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.
What else can I help you with?
Was Jupiter the planet visited by the Galileo probe in?
Yes, the Galileo probe was sent to study Jupiter. It arrived at Jupiter in 1995 and spent eight years studying the planet, its moons, and its magnetosphere before its mission ended in 2003.
What where the names of the 2 space shuttles that crashed?
The two space shuttles that tragically crashed were the Challenger in 1986 and the Columbia in 2003.
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).
How many Space Shuttle have crashed?
Two space shuttles have crashed: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003. Both incidents resulted in the loss of the crew on board.
What spacecraft was deployed in 1989 to study Jupiter?
The spacecraft deployed in 1989 to study Jupiter was the Galileo spacecraft. It arrived at Jupiter in 1995 and carried out extensive investigations of the planet and its moons until it was intentionally crashed into Jupiter in 2003 to eliminate any potential contamination of its moons.
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)
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.
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.

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.
In what year did a british probe crashland on mars?
Although it is not certain that "Beagle 2" actually crashed onto Mars, it was due to land on the surface on 25th December 2003
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 spacecraft was deployed in 1989 to study Jupiter?
The spacecraft deployed in 1989 to study Jupiter was the Galileo spacecraft. It arrived at Jupiter in 1995 and carried out extensive investigations of the planet and its moons until it was intentionally crashed into Jupiter in 2003 to eliminate any potential contamination of its moons.
