GALILEO
PLASMA WAVE INVESTIGATION

Welcome to the home page of the Galileo Plasma Wave Investigation. The Galileo spacecraft ended its 14-year mission by entering the atmosphere of Jupiter on September 21, 2003 (see the JPL press release). We continue to analyze the wealth of radio and plasma wave data returned during the mission.
