about

LIFTOFF
The Galileo Spacecraft launched the 18th October 1989, using the Space Shuttle "Atlantis". The main goal of the mission was to study Jupiter and its surrounding, while being the first ever human-object entering Jupiter's atmosphere.

AROUND JUPITER
The spacecraft managed to reach Jupiter 5 years later, on 7th December 1995. While making its way to Jupiter, the spacecraft did multiple fly-bys of Venus and Earth, in a goal to use them to perform gravity assists. It also managed to witness a collision between the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 and Jupiter, this being useful to the study of the planet.

IO
The closet moon of Jupiter and the most active volcanism-wise. When it comes to Galileo, it did orbit once during its main mission, when entering Jupiter's orbit; though it was chosen not to take any photos of it in order to preserve the spacecraft’s tools. From its observation, Io is, with Earth, the only body which has a metallic core beneath the surface. Galileo did orbit Io in its later missions.

EUROPA
The smallest moon of Jupiter which feature a surface made of solid water Ice. Thanks to Jupiter’s intense gravity field, Europa (and Io too) is subject to what’s called Tidal Heating, thus leading to the melting of this Ice a few kilometers beneath the surface. Many scientists think that life can be found over there.

GANYMEDE
Third moon of Jupiter and the biggest one; it has a size bigger than Pluto and Mercure, while carrying third time the water on Earth for comparison.

CALLISTO
Last Galilean moon of Jupiter, marked by dozens and dozens of comet impacts.

GALILEO MILLENIUM MISSION
The Galileo space mission was planned to end in 1997; However, since it was still operational, two more mission were planned for it : Galileo Europa Mission (1997 - 1999) and Galileo Millennium Mission (2001 - 2003). This last one was focused around the study of Europa, even though most of the spacecraft’s instruments were in a bad shape thanks to Jupiter intense radiation belt; it still provided pretty interesting and useful data about Europa.

FINAL COLLISION
On 21st September 2003 the spacecraft was launch on a suicide-course into Jupiter, in order to put it out of service and to prevent any potential damage to Europa, damage that could mess up the potential life present on it.
In conclusion, the Galileo space mission was more than a success; not only it managed to accomplish its main mission, it managed to do it without its main antenna which was stuck while opening while also surviving two other missions. This mission permits us to have more information about our solar system and to understand its genesis.

This tape is one of my biggest work yet; I've been actively working on it since January, in a goal to mix what I love: Phonk, Jungle and Jupiter. For those who don't know, I'm actually at University, learning Earth and Universe Sciences, in order to do planetologie in long term.
The cover is also done by myself, and you can clearly distinguish the 4 "big" galilean moons quoted before, as the Galileo spacecraft.
i hope you will like this tape as much as I loved making it,
good listen,
dvnce <3.
