JPL and the Space Age: Saving Galileo
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ค. 2022
- If any spacecraft could be said to have had nine lives, it was Galileo. At the time of its launch, this mission to Jupiter was the most sophisticated science spacecraft ever built. But the expectation of great science rewards almost was ruined when the spacecraft’s main antenna refused to unfurl.
“Saving Galileo” is the story of how NASA’s Galileo mission - designed, built, and operated by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory - was kept alive despite a multitude of technical challenges. It is also the story of a tight-knit team of scientists and engineers who were forged by adversity into what many came to call a family.
“Saving Galileo” tells how, despite many challenges and limitations, Galileo proved a resounding success.

My father worked for Hughes Aircraft, and his last big assignment was as project manager for the Galileo probe. He retired not too long after it was launched from the shuttle. I remember him having to drive out to JPL all the time, and sometimes having to travel to NASA Ames as well. He was so very proud of how well the probe functioned once it hit the atmosphere of Jupiter. He passed away at the end of 2014, and whenever I see pictures of Jupiter nowadays, I like to think part of his soul is there. Thank you for this wonderful video, I know Dad would have loved it.
Space is fake! 2nd law of thermodynamics, you must have a container for our gas pressure here on flat earth. You claim space is -17 tor, good luck with that lol...we would all be dead, gas cannot exist with a vaccum. Gas expands to fill it's space, cannot happen on a globe. Good luck, welcome to flat earth! th-cam.com/video/hFU3q74qwl0/w-d-xo.html
What was your father's name?
I did an essay in college about the Galileo probe before its launch from the space shuttle. I even put together a model of this probe. My college astronomy class was at NASA Ames. I may have crossed paths with your father. I never imagined that in a few years I would move from Mt. View CA to Cape Canaveral to work as a technician on the Space Shuttles for Rockwell international.
Well said
Thanks to your father and everyone else for their skill and dedication
Watching all 14 ep is sequence, from the first test rocket to the Cassini its impressive to see how much has changed at the JPL infrastructure, yet it retains the loose atmosphere of academia. Its sad to read of the passing of some scientists at early ages at at the height of their careers, also to see other scientists age, and rise through the ranks, as the missions continue, this was most striking in the Voyager missions. Please keep the videos coming,
It’s a fkn joke dude, these failed actors cannot really believe they are communicating with something in the impossible vacuum of space outside of earths containment. They are goons
14 episodes? I can only see 9.
I love these movie/documentary type videos, the Cassini one was breathtaking, I cannot wait for Voyager, Juno, Messenger, Hubble and many more!
I remember seeing Carl Sagan speak at the JPL laboratory during Planetfest 89.
We have come a long way.
Challenger tragedy delayed the mission and then when the HGA didn't unfurl properly..💔 Lossy compression to the rescue. For the first time my 33.6kbps Internet seemed adequate to download NASA mission images. Can't imagine what the team went through. Was very young during the Voyager missions but by Galileo I had access to a PC and the Internet! Followed it really close, didn't miss a single trajectory correction maneuver. 😃Was subbed to the weekly/monthly newsletter. Used to print them out and had'em in a binder! lol ❤to every person connected to this mission
That was really heartwarming to read, thank you for sharing, friend.
Ive always wanted to work on these satalites for nasa since i was very young.. Turned 18 and spent 8 years building up the funds to go to university for engineering and now that im about to finally hit school after years at the grind i find myself watching these docs excited for just getting maybe the very slim chance ill be able to do this someday wish me luck!
The very best of luck to you. 👍😃
i hope you have awesome luck
the engineering in these spacecraft is as awe-inspiring as the discoveries they make
This mission, created by bringing together the knowledge of many scientists, has shed light on the development of humanity. Congratulations to everyone involved. Thanks good people...
Keep putting out these docos JPL,fantastic to watch.
From what I can tell this is an excellent series for space nerds like me and everyone else.
thanks for having subtitles, makes the video way easier to understand for deaf/hard of hearing people
Brilliant...! Thank you . I LOVE ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS...! Together they make our Modern World...! It took me 2 tries to get the pass levels I needed in College Physics and Maths.. Oh how I wish I was half as smart as you gals/guys at JPL...! My one moment of glory was the Shoemaker Levy comet impact on Jupiter, as a 20yo I had an argument with my Father about the event , he said "nothing will happen as Jupiter is just gas " , I said it will be cataclysmic as Jupiters core is liquid metal and its gravity is MASSIVE...! I was right. Although even I was shocked at the intensity of those impacts. My bucket list's first objective is a tour through JPL's facilities...! Yes I am a proud average intelligence NERD..! Cheers JPL..!
Thank you JPL for making these amazing videos :)
This mission was a really a huge influence on me as a kid and I remember in a campground in the midwest wishing I could see the Shoemaker-Levy impact and waiting for the next month's space magazine to arrive at the library to see the pictures up close and personal.

Woke my 11 year old son up at 2:30 in the morning to watch this. All he wanted was to go back to bed..some day he will tell his grandkids about that night
The story of the Galileo mission, it’s technology, and the people involved is a stunning tribute to the beautiful side of humanity and what can be accomplished when working together, wonderfully presented in this documentary. The technology and problem solving are amazing by themselves, but moreover it’s the cohesiveness, enthusiasm, and energy of Galileo’s diverse team, motivated by the mysteries of our universe that really shines through. It is a template for living life, nourishing sparks of interest and following them to where they go, especially for the young wondering what to do with their lives. JPL and it’s media division have done a wonderful job showing an aspect of our space program and, even more importantly, a broader demonstration of what our civilization is capable of.
Well and thoughtfully timely said -- thank you!
A job extremely well done by the Galileo project crew! Rest In Power to two inspirational people: Carl Sagan and Claudia Alexander.
The songs are absolutely adorable. What a great way to cope with frustration.
Smartest people I've ever seen.. thank you for your hard work making these voyagers. If your watching
Scott
Please keep these episodes coming, every single one is just a wonderful tribute to NASA's ingenuity and problem solving!
This was my childhood space missions together with Cassini. I honestly didn't know how problem-plague Galileo is besides the high-gain antenna issue. I also didn't know the positive-dramas of this team until now (Cassini is more publicized). Thank you so much NASA and JPL. Please send JUICE and Clipper as soon as possible before our generation finally dies.
Mine was Voyager, life changing seeing Jupiter up-close. And I could not agree more. Also old enough to remember Viking. And yes to date myself saw Neil on my Grandparents old TV. Sadly I am not an Astronaut.
Thanks! Great story of great engineers and scientist!
Brings back fond memories of serving as a NASA Galileo Educator Ambassador. My mother was so proud...
Very interesting, thank you
I really enjoy these long video documentaries. Thank you very much for reviving the emotions of watching that long journey!✨🖖
Thank you JPL for this documentary. And thank you for what you are doing for the humanity 😊😊😊
I've watched a bunch of JPL videos this last couple of weeks and every single one has been top notch! Many thanks for sharing them with everyone!
This series MUST get preserved in the library of Congress.
Every once in a while, I watch TH-cam and see an old colleague, professor, or teaching assistant. It's not enough to name-drop: I want to be one of the ones being filmed.
About that compression algorithm, it was based on discrete cosine transformation, the same stuff that ended up in JPEG in those same years.
Proud for your pop.. used to drive by JPL exit every night on the 210.. never had a clue what these people were doing..thank you and Pop for your service to the world
It's so touching...
You guys are awesome ❤️ thanks for all you do to move humanity forward in science
Just imagine all the amazing data we could have gotten if this spacecraft was not plagued with all the problems that it had.
Nonetheless, it’s remarkable as to how they managed to keep the spacecraft going, despite *everything.*
Brilliant watch , well done guys .....
Absolutelly fantastic..got emotional
love it. Great document.
Very cool variety of objects in this competition!
Wow. I was just a child when all of this happened and didn't realize how many complications the Craft and Everyone involved had to go through to deliver such amazing photos/data..
Io's volcano's and of course Europa's plumes of liquid water from a subsurface ocean blew my mind at the time..
..Since then I always wanted someone to put a lander/rover on Io to show an erupting volcano in 'live-time'. I figured if we showed the public another body with a dynamic surface like an active volcano it would spark more public interest etc.
But is a Io rover/lander even possible at this point? Is the 'speed' involved too much to 'land' an object, or is it the radiation? Or..
Wilco
I was 17 when Voyagers were launched, it's strange that they'll outlive me.
This was very well done, maybe as well done as the the mission itself.
that was really intresting to watch :) cool stuff :)
Beautiful
나를 우주에 깊게빠지게 한 천문학에 아버지 칼세이거 박사님...그립습니다 칼세이건 박사님.
As do we all...
R.I P.
University of Iowa instruments flew with Pioneers 10 & 11, the Voyagers, Galileo, Cassini, and now Juno missions to the outer planets and beyond. I used to tease the guy who wound the magnetic search coil antennas which were located at the focus of the main antenna that some of his windings had sprung out and snagged the reflector. ;-)
It seems like all the problems really boil down to (1) the limitations and delays of the Space Shuttle and (2) underestimating Jupiter's radiation torus. The Shuttle should have been retired a lot sooner. The Radiation Vault seems to have worked well for Juno tho.
amazing...
Wow, made me cry 😢
Ohh this is awesome. 😍
just wow !!
These documentaries are wonderful, I can't wait for more missions to talk about!
Awesome Engineering to save the mission. If you are going on a camping trip, take a JPL Mission Specialist. You will be ready for anything!
You guys ,without knowing were creating the right frequency to create
A solution to problem with Galileo 😜😜😜😃😄 awesome 👍
Gualileo e divino ❤🎉 grazie mille
Guys, this documentary should not be unlisted, it should be public.
There is NO reason why this shouldn't be viewed by everyone!
Lucky for us they will be releasing them every month for the next year
Copyright 2019 - released wide 2022. Yep, that took a while.
Galileo: the most significant bit. 😅
26:20 so much for getting the chance to get up close and personal with Jupiter 🙃
Love is all!!
Does anyone know is there a full version of the song 39:50???
Wow.
Bonjour.Est-ce que Galileo ne peut pas tourner autour deJupiter dans le sens longitudinale ?
Thank you to ALL involved!!!
You are the most wonderful and brightest people in the world!!!
Now, if we could have people like you running all countries and governments. Con you imagine what peace, progress and global warming, famine, pollution, diseases physical and psychological would be gone...
Children of all nations would be taking field trips to Jupiter and beyond!
If only . . .
We have a dream
00mph c'est la vie❣💯💔
Korean girl group Kep1er, named after Johannes Kepler, the great German astronomer, debuted on an audition program called Girls Planet 999 and released its first mini album called First Impact in January 2022.
Galileo was featured as the title track of the fifth mini album on September 25, 2023, 20 years after the Jupiter probe, Galileo, collided with Jupiter on September 21, 2003.
Nice doc, I didn't remember almost nothing from this mission.
It is sad how so less number of people have watched this
Goodbye, Galileo 💙
🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
So glad Carl knew about the existence of exoplanets.
If only a one hour video can make me sad for the end of Galileo, can't imagine working for the project many many years along with a large group of people and then witnessing its end. Life (which can also be called reality) is beautiful yes but it sucks big time. It's really cruel and savage. No regard for goodness at all.
my father frank malina co counded JPL and would be happy space was being used for peaceful exploration by machines and not for war or for sending humans where machines belong
Diaz 🤔
These are good, well done guys!
documentaries that are actually cover real events and facts, instead of hype and drama and pseudoscience are rare to come by these days
Godspeed, you magnificent mess. Your shoulders will seize and jam ever more as we stand on them to see further into discovery.
Wish Carl Sagan could see NASA today.
I wish there were real time pictures.
53:57
What is wizardry if not to send thunder, (electricity) and chunks of rock that is steel and titanium to another planet and make it dance for you?
This is an excellent video, but the statement at 38:50 is misleading. It talks about Ganymede being the largest moon and that if it circled the sun it would be a planet. Well, yeah, it would but not because of its size but because it would be circling the sun. Size has nothing to do with it. Sure Pluto getting demoted confused the situation, but the statement is still misleading.
Pluto did not get demoted, it got reclassified. After all it's only a Kuiper Belt object. There is no confusement. The only unfortunate thing is that they could only agree on naming objects failing to meet the third criterion dwarf planets. "Dwarf planet" contains the element "planet". This was not an ideal choice.
@@Emdee5632 If you don't think being moved from planet status to dwarf status is a demotion, ok, but I don't agree.
The songs are cute!
Lovely to see Science being blended with art and performance, something encouraged at schools. LOL
It started producing high res images in 1995, right when someone with the know how & a lot of money could get images from the internet.
19:32 Was that real?
carl sagan
Why was Galileo required to be launched from the shuttle?
It was the only launch vehicle available at the time.
Messy politics, basically just to give the shuttle something to do from what I understand. A titan rocket, which was launching at that time, would've done the job better and for a lower cost. I imagine an Atlas might have been able to do it too, but they used a titan for the Voyager missions, so it definitely had the capability.
@@jaydonbooth4042 yeah, kind of what i was thinking.
It has to be said who's to say another country's space agency won't let their probes contaminate planets or moons? Through action or inaction. I enjoyed watching this.

Galileo Will Always Be My Eternal Spacecraft Alongside Cassini Huygens
Cap off to the great scientists, mathematicians, engineers and technicians of NASA, JPL, Hughs, Grummen and hundreds of participating companies and the great United States of America for this monumental achievement and example of human brilliance and perseverance…to learn, explore and become better in all things! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊🥲👍👍🇺🇸
🇧🇷
Big white cowboy hats for all you people.. thank you for what you did
This makes it obvious to me that our tax money is better spent on robotic exploration, than on crewed spacecraft.
It is unfortunate that the old saying :"No Buck Rogers, then no bucks" is true.
Why the probe wasn't equipped with a camera is beyond me?
Camera kept working and breaking
*Put lazor receivers on all ships from now on out‼️*
HALO NASAAAA
Wow! Would there be another Galileo??? I wonder if Galileo the astronomer is among us and sees these and those and all of them....🤔
30:15
I know I say this with hindsight, but are you telling me none of these scientists predicted Io? No-one looked at the Jovian system and suspected there would be geological activity due to tidal forces and orbital resonance? A huge gas giant with 4 tiny moons? Do you need any more clues?I don't understand how any of this could have been a surprise to a geologist, or planetary scientist. This is just physics.
"Waiting for Ganymede All Night" by the Galileo Crew. Perfect! Well done, JPL for a great video!
Elon Musk's folks at Space X are droll and sour persons of little or no personality in contrast to NASA JPL. As an old Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine sailor, I can not imagine what it would be like to be stuck in close proximity with a hundred rich know-nothing spoiled Musk-brats for 2yrs. I think "Avenue 5" on HBO comes close.
Actually, I think its Musk whom is the know-nothing rich kid. Alot of people working under Musk have to put up with his egotistical temdencies..
Musk has had to shut down shell compamies due to incompetence.
Hes just another Trump.
Your budget should be tripled
And the military budget should be halved.
It's already enormous, especially for the tangibles it delivers.
@@tabularasa0606 Don't worry, when China is in charge you won't have to worry about any US military anymore. And from the looks of things you won't have to wait much longer.
@@TheRadioAteMyTV
China isnt gonna be that differemt from US in terms of national priorities
I would have programed Galileo to return to earth after it completed the mission just to kick the $#it out of it.
How do we end up with people like the Kardashians as celebrities while these highly intelligent heroes advance our species, all under the radar and unknown.
Marketing. Don't underestimate its power.
Kardashians barely get any attention. Trump and his ilk get wayyy more attention.
Also, people prefer politcs over science.
It has been trying for video has either you or disclose this communication
