Galileo was an American robotic space probe that studied the planet Jupiter and its moons, as well as the asteroids Gaspra and Ida. Named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, it consisted of an orbiter and an entry probe. It was delivered into Earth orbit on October 18, 1989, by Space Shuttle Atlantis, during STS-34.

2018年8月15日 · The recovery orbit of Galileo satellites 5 and 6 is compatible with the nominal Galileo constellation and some challenges due to the eccentric characteristics of the orbit have been overcome by the modifications in the ground segment.

Galileo 5 and 6 Recovery On 22 August 2014, Europe’s fifth and sixth Galileo satellites were launched by a Soyuz rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, continuing the construction of the Galileo satnav constellation.

2015年5月1日 · One of a pair of dual-launched Galileo FOC (Full Operation Capacity) satellites for the European Space Agency navigation system.

Model of a Galileo satellite. This is a list of past and present satellites of the Galileo navigation system.The fully operational constellation will nominally consist of 30 satellites in Medium Earth Orbit, with 24 active and 6 spares equally divided into 3 orbital planes in a Walker 24/3/1 configuration. [1]As of September 2024, 32 Galileo (4 IOV "In Orbit Validation" and 28 FOC …

We describe the scientific objectives of the GREAT project (Galileo gravitational Redshift Experiment with eccentric sATellites) which is funded by the European Space Agency (ESA). A specific campaign of SLR on Galileo 5&6 is ongoing with Geoazur/OCA, and a concerted ILRS campaign is proposed. 1. Scientific objectives.

2025年1月28日 · GSAT0105 (GALILEO-FM5, GALILEO 5) is one of the 2 satellites for Europe's Galileo navigation network released on August 22, 2014 into the wrong orbit after launching aboard a Soyuz rocket from French Guiana.

GALILEO 5 (261), 40128 is a payload satellite owned by GNSS Agency (ESA) in MEO that was launched on Fri, 22 Aug 2014 UTC via a SOYUZ-ST-B launch vehicle from the French Guiana (FRGUI). Payloads include a variety of satellites, spacecraft, and rockets equipped with specific instruments for various scientific and technological missions.

2024年11月5日 · Galileo is the first spacecraft to fly by an asteroid and the first to discover a moon of an asteroid. NASA extended the mission three times to continue taking advantage of Galileo’s unique capabilities for accomplishing valuable science.

Trajectory of Galileo from launch to Jupiter orbital insertion. The timeline of the Galileo spacecraft spans its launch in 1989 to the conclusion of its mission when it dove into and destroyed itself in the atmosphere of Jupiter in 2003.
