This video is a compilation of three short videos related to the Galileo mission. The first section shows animation of the descent of the Galileo probe into the atmosphere of Jupiter. It includes cutaway views of the atmosphere showing the different layers. This descent will represent the first entry into the atmosphere of an outer planet in our solar system. A second section shows some live shots of the development and drop chute tests of the Galileo spacecraft. A third section is an animation that shows the Probe mission. It shows visualizations from the launch, including the Venus flyby, the separation of the probe and the orbiter, and the trajectory of the planetary arrival. It also shows the descent of the probe into the atmosphere.
