What would happen to a spacecraft landing on Jupiter?
You can't you will probably fall in Jupiter and die. And why it's made of burring gases. so don't do it!
Did Voyager 1 land on Jupiter?
Jupiter is Gaseous Planet so no Lander/Rover can land on Jupiter. Voyager is basically a Spacecraft and spacecraft is used as flyby around a planet or object. It had a flyby of Jupiter in 1979. It is now outside the heliopause - the "bubble" of plasma coming from the sun otherwise known as solar wind. It is now out in what we consider interstellar space and still transmitting.
Do spacecraft visit Uranus?
Yes. So far Uranus has been visited only by the Voyager 2 space 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.
Where exactly is galilean moons located?
The Galilean moons are the four largest moons of Jupiter, so called because they were discovered by Galileo Galilei.

What is the best reason why spacecraft have not been sent deep within Jupiter to explore the planet?
The main reason we have not sent a spacecraft deep within Jupiter is because of the mass pressure of the planet. Jupiter is a gas giant, so it has no hard surface besides possibly the core. So if we sent any spacecraft there, they would just be crushed by the eminence pressure before we could collect a reasonable amount of data.
When did they find out Jupiter was a planet?
Jupiter was known about in ancient times so no way of knowing when first discovered. it moons were discovered in 1600's.
