Io and the Galileo Extended Mission
The Galileo Europa Mission (GEM) began in December 1997 as NASA's Galileo spacecraft successfully completed its nominal mission of 11 orbits around Jupiter. With new insights into the Jovian system, more intriguing puzzles, and a healthy spacecraft already in orbit around Jupiter, GEM was proposed and approved for orbits 12 through 25.
