The US space agency (Nasa) is about to destroy its long-serving Galileo spacecraft in Jupiter's atmosphere.
The purpose of the Jupiter probe is to gather scientific data and images from the planet Jupiter.
The Jupiter probe has been in space for approximately 5 years.
The Jupiter probe is expected to end its mission on September 15, 2021.
The Jupiter probe has collected information on the planet's atmosphere, magnetic field, and moons.
No, the Jupiter probe will not be able to send back data during its fiery end as it will most likely be destroyed by the intense heat and pressure of Jupiter's atmosphere.
