'''Ganymede''' is one of [[Jupiter|Jupiter's]] four [[Galilean Moons]], the third from Jupiter. It is also the largest Natural Satellite in the Solar System and its diameter is larger than Mercury's by about 8%. Its orbit is in a 1:2:4 resonance with [[Io]] and [[Europa]].

== Ganymede in Orbiter ==
Ganymede was introduced to [[Orbiter]] in the Orbiter 2002 release. It is modeled as a sphere 2634 km in radius.
