Radio Doppler data generated by the Deep Space Network (DSN) from the recent encounters of the Galileo spacecraft with the Galilean satellites have been used to determine the mass (GM) and unnormalized quadruple gravity coefficients in the external gravitational fields of the Galilean satellites. Therefore, a series of internal structure models, which satisfy the given constraints for the mean density and the mean moment of inertia, can be presented by solving Emden equations. And some dynamical parameters can also be calculated based on the density distributions given by internal structure models.
