Jupiter's satellite Ganymede is the largest natural satellite in the Solar System. As a result of the close encounter of Ganymede by the Galileo spacecraft in June and September 1996, the second zonal J2 and the second sectorial C22 Stokes parameters are now well determined (Anderson et al., 1996). Using the updated geodetic parameters, we have constructed a group of models for the internal structure of Ganymede, and have estimated some dynamical parameters for these models. A comparison with the Moon is made. The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that, whereas Ganymede at present is in a state of hydrostatic equilibrium, this is certainly not the case for the Moon.
