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.
Jupiter ;)
Yes, there are several things named after Galileo Galilei, including the Galilean moons of Jupiter (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto), the Galileo spacecraft mission to Jupiter, the Galileo space probe, and the Galileo thermometer. In addition, there are institutions, awards, and concepts in various fields that bear his name in honor of his contributions to science.
From what I have read it was going 50,000 mph.
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.
The Galileo spacecraft used a gravity-assist trajectory to reach Jupiter. This involved slingshot maneuvers around Venus and Earth to gain the necessary velocity to reach the outer solar system.
The spacecraft that found asteroid951 was the Galileo Spacecraft..I think..
the galileo spacecraft dropped a probe into jupiters atmospere, it was crushed by the dangerous gases once it decended about 130,000
Galileo
the galileo, however it was destroyed in 2003 and a new spacecraft will be sent out in 2011
Galileo was the first spacecraft to visit Jupiter.
From 1995 to 2003.
yes
Jupiter ;)
No, Galileo has been the only probe to actually orbit Jupiter.
the spacecraft was able to get very close to Europa's surface.
NASA named a spacecraft after Galileo to honor his contributions to astronomy and science. Galileo was a pioneering astronomer who made significant discoveries such as the moons of Jupiter, which paved the way for our understanding of the solar system. Naming a spacecraft after him symbolizes NASA's commitment to exploration and discovery.
The Galileo spacecraft originally photographed the asteroid 951 Gaspra.
