The ultimate fate of the Galileo Atmosphere Probe

ljk — 5/27/2005 1:57:34 PM (archived)

The Planetary Society has an article on the fate of the Galileo Atmosphere Probe in Jupiter's bulk, right down to the bitter, vaporized end:

The diagram that went with the article is sadly missing. While I could not find it elsewhere or a related one, here is another site with diagrams of the probe's main mission in Jupiter's atmosphere:

Here's a related question - Why didn't they give the atmosphere probe a name, separate from the Galileo orbiter?
