Ganymede is one of 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[edit]

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