Jupiter Five

"Jupiter Five" is a science fiction short story by Arthur C. Clarke first published in the magazine ''If'' in 1953.〔Arthur C. Clarke: Reach for Tomorrow. ''Ballantine Books'', New York 1956, p. IV〕 It appeared again in Clarke's collection of short stories ''Reach for Tomorrow'', in 1956,〔 and deals with the detection and exploration of an old spaceship from outside the Solar System.
==Plot summary==
Professor Forster is a distinguished scientist on an expedition with the spacecraft ''Arnold Toynbee''. He determines that the innermost satellite of Jupiter, Jupiter V, is a parked spacecraft from "Culture X", an ancient race of reptiles from outside the Solar System. Culture X coexisted with insectoid Martians, and settled the smaller rocky planets and moons throughout the Solar System apart from the Moon of the Earth. Jupiter V is discovered to be a spherical metal vehicle with a diameter of 30 kilometers. It contains an art gallery with millions of exhibits. One of the art objects is a depiction of a member of Culture X, which Forster dubs "The Ambassador".
It becomes clear that "The Ambassador" was intended explicitly for Mankind. Culture X predicted that intelligent life would develop on Earth and eventually achieve space flight; the statue is a message of greeting and goodwill spanning the gulf of time between its creators' ancient extinction and the arrival of the space travelers from Earth.
A science writer, Randolph Mays, arrives with his pilot and his secretary. Forster takes advantage of a loophole in space law and claims salvage rights to Jupiter V in the name of the World Science Organization. Mays tries to steal "The Ambassador" and other art objects, but Forster turns Mays' companions against him, forcing him to return the stolen items.〔Arthur C. Clarke: Reach for Tomorrow. ''Ballantine Books'', New York 1956, p. 128-160〕
