The Juno mission to Jupiter is due for launch August 2011 and should arrive in Jupiter orbit in 2016. In the meantime you might want to check into the Cassini mission in the Saturnian system right now. The Cassini probe will be flying by Titan on April 19, 2011. The last orbit past Titan showed spring showers of methane rain over the equatorial dessert.

Has NASA been to Jupiter?
NASA has send probes to take photos of Jupiter and its moons starting with the Pioneer missions all the way back in the early 1970's and the Voyager Probes later that same decade. Probes have also been sent to fly by Jupiter in later years, most notably the Galileo Orbiter sent at the end of 1989. The orbiter also had and atmospheric entry probe that was separated and sent to enter Jupiter's gases and send back as much data as possible before being crushed by the tremendous pressure. The last Jupiter fly-by was by New Horizons a probe on it's way to Pluto. New Horizons used Jupiter as other outer solar system probes have, as a slingshot to propel them further out into space.
What space probes did they send to Jupiter?
The main ones were the Voyagers. Before that , Pioneer 10 and 11. These were followed by the Galileo probe.
What kind of spacecrafts went to Jupiter?
So far 8 space probes have been to Jupiter: The first one was Pioneer 10 in 1973, followed by Pioneer 11 in 1974, Voyagers 1 and 2 in 1979, Ulysses in 1992, Galileo in 1995, Cassini in 2000, and New Horizons in 2007. Further probes planned are the Juno space probe, due to launch sometime in 2011, and the Europa Jupiter System Mission, planned for 2020.
Have space probes been sent to europa?
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.
Did NASA send the voyager probes into space?
Yes, the Voyager missions were run by NASA and they sent the probes.
What is a scientific probe?
A probe is a spacecraft that travels through space to collect science information. ... Probes send data back to Earth for scientists to study. The First Probes. Sputnik 1 was the first probe to go into space.
In the late 70s the voyager 1 and voyager 2 probes were sent to study which planet?
Jupiter voyager 1 used jupiters gravity to send it on to Saturn. voyager 2 went to Saturn uranus and neptune
What do space probes use to send information back to earth?
Space probes use radio waves to send information back to Earth. They are equipped with radio antennas that transmit the data collected by the instruments on board to communication satellites or directly to ground stations. The transmitted signals are received and processed by ground stations to analyze the data collected by the space probe.
How much does it cost to go on a trip to Jupiter?
So far, no person has gone to Jupiter. Even sending unmanned probes is terribly expensive. I don't think our technology is advanced enough to send a person that far. It may be in a few years, but not yet.
Why can't you send a spacecraft to land on Jupiter?
The surface of Jupiter is not solid!
When will they send probes to mercury?
They have already sent two probes near Mercury: Mariner 10, and MESSENGER. The BepiColombo is a proposed joint mission between JAXA and ESA, which will launch a further two probes.
