The exploration of Jupiter has consisted of a number of automated spacecraft
visiting the planet since 1973. A large majority of the missions have been
"flybys", in which detailed observations are taken without the probe landing or
entering orbit; the Galileo spacecraft is only one to have orbited the planet.
As Jupiter is projected to have only a small rocky core and no real solid
surface, a landing mission is impossible.
Flights to other planets within the Solar System are accomplished at a cost in
energy, which is described by the net change in velocity of the spacecraft, or
delta-v. Reaching Jupiter from Earth requires a delta-v of 9.2 km/s, which is
comparable to the 9.7 km/s delta-v needed to reach low Earth orbit. Fortunately,
gravity assists through planetary flybys can be used to reduce the energy
required at launch to reach Jupiter, albeit at the cost of a significantly
longer flight duration.
