The second Ganymede flyby Galileo made was the closest Galileo will come to the satellite. During this time, observations were also be made of the Jovian magnetosphere as well as of the other satellites of Jupiter. Attempts which occurred after the Ganymede 2 encounter to free the stuck filter wheel were unsuccessful.
Engineers continue to look at the problem.
