Scientific paper
Although the Galileo spacecraft was destroyed during its plunge into Jupiter in September of 2003, scientific efforts related to the Galileo mission are not ended. Among the many gems left to our scientific community as a legacy are the measurements acquired during numerous near encounters with Jupiter's 4 large moons. High-resolution measurements from the plasma instrumentation (PLS) recorded during many of these encounters yield unprecedented evidence of complex phenomena associated with the motions of the moons through the Jovian magnetosphere. The plasma environment of each moon exhibits unique characteristics. Many exciting findings have been reported, but it is unlikely that the full scientific gain from the mission has been realized yet. Additional significant insights can be achieved through theory and modeling efforts guided by these remarkable observations, and through continued analysis of the measurements. With that in mind, we provide an overview of findings based on plasma observations near the moons, and we discuss these findings in the context of other past and recent work directed toward understanding the environments of the moons and their interactions with Jupiter and with Jupiter's magnetosphere.
