Galileo launched in 1989 from the payload bay of the space shuttle Atlantis and arrived at Jupiter in 1995. It was the first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter and the first to send a probe into its atmosphere. It discovered evidence of saltwater below the surfaces of three of Jupiter's moons — Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. It was purposely put on a collision course with Jupiter because it was running out of fuel, and NASA wanted to make sure that it wouldn't impact any of Jupiter's moons that could harbor life in their subsurface oceans. Why it mattered NASA's Galileo mission to Jupiter was a first-of-its-kind mission, a dedicated orbiter designed to survive the extreme harsh radiation environment around the largest planet in our solar system in an attempt to uncover its secrets. Named in honor of Galileo Galilei, the Italian Renaissance scientist who discovered Jupiter's major moons in 1610, the Galileo spacecraft carried nine primary instruments to study the giant planet.
