Galilean satellite natural satellite The largest satellites of Jupiter - Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. All are locked in synchronous rotation with Jupiter.

Io Galilean satellite 3.48 g (data from Pioneer 10) R &asmyp; 1850 km (data from Pioneer 10) Jupiter I i = 0.03 0.91 The innermost Galilean satellite of Jupiter, similar in size and density to the Moon. Jupiter's decametric radiation has been linked at least partially to Io. It has the highest mean density of any of the Galilean satellites. Pioneer 10 also detected the presence of an ionosphere, and Na D emission. It also has the highest albedo in the solar system. 1.77 days e = 0.01
