History:

Launched in 1989, the intrepid spacecraft named after Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei more than lived up to its namesake’s glory. Galileo’s mission was to study Jupiter and its moons, and it was the first spacecraft to orbit the planet. Its extraordinary findings included liquid water under the surface of Europa and a magnetic field around the moon Ganymede. From the volcanos of Io to the saltwaters of Callisto, Galileo ranged boldly far and wide. With the Galileo Spacecraft Model, the dream of discovery lives on within your very own home.
