Orbits of Galileo spacecraft around Jupiter
Galileo spacecrafts orbital map. Diagram showing the orbital plan for the Galileo spacecraft as it explores Jupiter and its inner moons. The yellow lines are the spacecrafts orbits, the orange circles (upper left) are the orbits of Jupiters four major moons. Galileo will arrive in Jupiters system on 7 December 1995. Entering its first orbit, Galileo will make its only close fly-by of the innermost moon, Io. The subsequent 10 planned tours of the Jovian system will take 23 months. Each tour consists of a seven-day encounter with Jupiter and one of the major moons (Europa, Ganymede and Callisto) followed by a long cruise to allow data to be relayed to Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate orbits of the Galileo spacecraft around the magnificent planet Jupiter. The diagram provides a detailed visual representation of Galileo's orbital plan as it embarks on its exploration mission, delving into Jupiter and its inner moons. The yellow lines elegantly trace the spacecraft's orbits, while in the upper left corner, orange circles depict the paths followed by Jupiters four major moons. The image is not only visually stunning but also informative, revealing key details about Galileo's journey. It highlights that on 7 December 1995, Galileo will enter Jupiter's system and commence its first orbit. During this initial phase, it will conduct a close fly-by of Io, one of Jupiter's innermost moons. Subsequently, over a span of 23 months, Galileo has planned ten tours across the Jovian system. Each tour encompasses a seven-day encounter with Jupiter itself and one of its major moons: Europa, Ganymede or Callisto. Following these encounters comes an extended cruise period to facilitate data transmission back to Earth. This photograph from Science Photo Library encapsulates both research and exploration at their finest moments. It symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our home planet and serves as a reminder that there are vast realms waiting to be discovered within our own cosmic neighborhood – all thanks to groundbreaking missions like Galileo’s expedition around Jupiter.
