NASA Homepage Your mission base for exploring a wealth of information provided by NASA. Online from Jupiter In October 1989, NASA launched a spacecraft called Galileo toward Jupiter. Six years later, in December 1995, Galileo arrived at its destination. Along the way, Galileo grabbed some great shots of Earth, Venus, and the asteroid belt. Once in Jupiter's orbit, the spacecraft released a probe to gather more information about the planet and report back to Earth. And the mission isn't over yet -- the Galileo orbiter will have some close encounters with Jupiter's moons in the coming months. Visit this site to learn more about NASA's Galileo mission.
