The main purpose of the mission is the determination of the structure and dynamics of Jupiter's magnetosphere, the chemical composition and the dynamic structure of Jupiter's atmosphere and the characterization of the morphological and geological properties and the surface composition of the Galilean moons. The mission began on October 18, 1989; after journeying for 5 years, the Galileo spacecraft reached the Jovian system and will spend 20 months performing scientific observations. The mission is to end in November 1997. The German contribution to the Galileo project consists of delivering and operating two scientific experiments and the participation in five further experiments as a co-investigator, the development and delivery of the drive module (Retro Propulsion Module - RPM) for the orbiter and the participation of the German Space Operations Center (GSOC) in mission control.
