Galileo Orbiter primary instrument data at SBN:
| Data type | Browse/Download | Description |
| Dust | Galileo Dust Detector Subsystem (GDDS) | GDDS can detect particles having masses between 10-16g and 10-6g traveling at relative speeds of up to 70 km/s. GDDS has detected interplanetary dust from asteroids and comets, interstellar dust, and streams of dust originating from Io volcanic activity. |
| Images | Ida/Gaspra Collection | A collection of Galileo and other data specific to Ida and Gaspra, selected from the full data sets. |
