Aww, the end of an era :(
From NASA:
For the last bit of Jupiter news, it's the end of an era: the flight
team for our Jupiter-orbiting Galileo spacecraft ceased operations on Friday, Feb. 28 after a final playback of scientific data from the robotic explorer's tape recorder. Galileo will plunge into Jupiter in
September.

Another spacecraft goes silent: our Pioneer 10 spacecraft has sent its last signal to Earth.
