On June 27, the Galileo spacecraft flew by the moon Ganymede at low altitudes. The Jovian field near Ganymede is of order 100 nT. Near closest approach to Ganymede, the field magnitude rose to 475 nT. We interpret the signature as that of an internal field of the satellite and discuss the supporting evidence. The magnetic signature of Io (flyby of December 7, 1995) will also be discussed. High time resolution data reveal a highly structured signature in the near wake region. Our earlier inference that the perturbation is consistent with an internal magnetic field of Io remains plausible but ambiguous because of the complexity of the plasma dynamics and further computer simulations will be needed in order to intrpret the details.
