Computer-Generated Galileo Jupiter Approach Images

The following images are computer-generated Jupiter approach images created by the Digital Image Animation Lab (DIAL) at JPL. The images cover a 10 hour period on December 7, 1995 and include the key events during the Jupiter orbit insertion: Io flyby, probe relay tranmission and the 49 minute engine burn. A sequence of 121 images spaced 5 minutes apart is provided. These images previously appeared one at a time at the top of the Countdown to Jupiter home page in sync with Galileo's actual position on December 7. There are two versions of each image available: a small version about 10K in size, and a larger version that ranges from 18K to 32K in size. All of the images are in the JPEG format.

These images have also been created into Galileo animations.
