the galileo, however it was destroyed in 2003 and a new spacecraft will be sent out in 2011
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.
Yes, the Galileo spacecraft sent a probe down into the atmosphere of Jupiter in 1995.
No one has visited Jupiter to date, though several probes have been sent.
Yes, but it is still unknown how deep. That is one of the reasons NASA sent spacecraft Juno to the moon.
Galileo was the first spacecraft to visit Jupiter.
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.
A spacecraft didn't visit Jupiter it is just a ball of gas.

Some examples of satellites or robots that have been sent to Jupiter include NASA's Juno spacecraft, which has been in orbit around Jupiter since 2016, and the Galileo spacecraft, which orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003. Additionally, the European Space Agency's JUICE (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) mission is planned to launch in 2022 to study Jupiter and its moons.
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.
NASA has sent several missions to study Jupiter, with the most notable being the Juno spacecraft, launched in 2011 and arriving at Jupiter in 2016. Juno is equipped with scientific instruments to measure the planet's gravity and magnetic fields, and to study its atmosphere and composition. Other missions include the Galileo orbiter and the Voyager spacecraft, which provided valuable data about Jupiter and its moons during their flybys. These missions have significantly advanced our understanding of the gas giant and its complex system.
