1,087,722 | On December 7, 1995, the orbiter arrived in the Jovian system. That day it made a flyby of Europa at 11:09 UTC, and then an flyby of Io at 15:46 UTC, using Io's gravity to reduce its speed, and thereby conserve propellant for use later in the mission. At 19:54 it made its closest approach to Jupiter. The orbiter's elec... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=13077 | 1,087,163 |
