The Galileo Spacecraft will be launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida using the NASA Space Shuttle for insertion into near-Earth orbit and an Air Force Inertial Upper Stage for injection onto the interplanetary transfer trajectory. The launch period will extend from early October to late November 1989. Arrival time at Jupiter will be early December 1995. In december 1995, the Galileo atmospheric probe will conduct a brief direct examination of Jupiter's gigantic atmosphere, while the larger part of the craft, the orbiter, begins a 22-month, 10-orbit tour of the major satellites and the magnetosphere, including long-term observations of Jupiter throughout this phase.
