Galileo was an unmanned spacecraft designed to study Jupiter and
its moons. On 13 July 1995, the Galileo Orbiter and the probe
separated for the latter to penetrate Jupiter's atmosphere. Its
scientific objectives included measuring Jupiter's temperature,
chemical composition and its atmospheric pressure structure. The
probe entered Jupiter's atmosphere on 7 December 1995.

The only probe that visited Jupiter and stayed for any length of
time was the Galileo probe. Launch from Earth in 1989, it arrived
at Jupiter in 1995, and orbited Jupiter and its moon until Sept.
2003, when,due to the deterioration of the orbiter, NASA crashed it
into Jupiter's atmosphere.
Both Voyagers and Cassini/Huyguens did fly-bys of the planet
without going into orbit.

No spacecraft has been sent specifically to study Europa, but
several spacecraft that have observed Jupiter also spent time
observing Europa. Planned to launch around 2020, the Europa Jupiter
System Mission will send 2 to 4 spacecraft to Jupiter, with one
spacecraft dedicated to studying Europa: the Jupiter Europa
Orbiter.
