Mission Summary
Everything mankind has come to know about the night sky can be traced back to the time of Ancient Greece. History’s earliest astronomers like Galileo Galilei were later instrumental in developing the many methods we now use to observe the night sky.
Fast forward to 2025, and humanity’s knowledge of the universe only continues to expand. Modern technology allows for anyone, regardless of how little they know about astronomy, to gaze at the wonders of outer space from their own backyard.
The inaugural Galileo Expedition saw STARFLEET scientists spend 30 days observing the night sky and documenting their findings for the Expedition Report.
