QUESTION: What spinoff technology has Galileo produced? ANSWER from FAQ: A few of the inventions we now enjoy were originally developed for Galileo. Charge-coupled devices like those in Galileo's television systems are used in some of our home video cameras, yielding sharper images than ever conceived of in the days before the project began. In addition, radiation-resistant components developed for Galileo are now used in research, businesses, and military applications where radiation environment is a concern. Another advance, integrated circuits resistant to cosmic rays, has helped to handle disturbances to computer memory that are caused by high-energy particles; these disturbances plague extremely high-speed computers on Earth and all spacecraft.
