The galileo spacecraft was launched on October 18, 1989 towards Jupiter using the Venus-Earth-Earth Gravity Assist (VEEGA) trajectory.
The Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) was successfully used to track the Galileo spacecraft on December 8, 1992, during the Galileo Earth-2 Flyby. This flyby enabled Galileo to obtain a gravity-assisted energy increase as part of the Venus-Earth-Earth trajectory en route to the planet Jupiter.
