What is the name of the space probe that observed Jupiter?
The space probe that observed Jupiter is named Juno. Juno was launched by NASA in 2011 and entered orbit around Jupiter in 2016. It is studying the planet's atmosphere, magnetic field, and composition.
How did the Galileo space probe get its name?
Because when it reached its destination it sent a probe into the atmosphere of Jupiter. With its cargo deployed, it became a scientific space craft, but in all actuality it in itself was the probe due to the fact that to not risk crashing into one of the moons that may be inhabited, they sent it down into the atmosphere of the planet itself, as not to risk human contamination of the moons, so if we were to find biology on one of the moons, and our craft had crashed there, it may have been biology we accidently placed there, instead of biology that formed there. If we find it now, we know we have not contaminated it.

Did a robot ever land on Jupiter?
No. Nothing can land on Jupiter as it does not have a solid surface. The Galileo spacecraft orbited Jupiter from 1995 until 2002. In 1995 an atmospheric probe with the Galileo mission entered Jupiter's atmosphere to study it. The probe eventually melted as it entered the superheated layers deep in Jupiter's atmosphere. In 2002 the main Galileo space probe burned up in Jupiter's atmosphere at the end of its 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.

The main ones were the Voyagers. Before that , Pioneer 10 and 11. These were followed by the Galileo probe.
What was the name of the space probe that crashed into Jupiter in 2003?
The space probe that crashed into Jupiter in 2003 was called Galileo. It orbited Jupiter for almost eight years and provided valuable data and images of the planet and its moons before its mission ended with a controlled impact into Jupiter's atmosphere.
