The surface of Jupiter is not solid!
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.
The first spacecraft to visit and explore Jupiter was the Pioneer 10 in 1973. The Pioneer 10 was created by NASA and made in the U.S.
We should send space probe just like New Horizons Spacecraft to Eris. So we can launch this spacecraft in 2015 to make Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune flybys then to Eris.
In 2008, NASA launched its New Horizon's spacecraft. It took 13 months to reach Jupiter. This was a huge improvement over NASA's first attempt to send a rocket to Jupiter. The Galileo craft took 6 years to make the same trip!
Yes. The gravitational force of Jupiter was used to accelerate the spacecraft and change it's direction so that it would encounter Saturn. At Saturn the same technique was used to send the spaceraft to Uranus.
after the US

The three main stages in exploring a planet are: 1. send out a spacecraft that passes one or more bodies in space without orbiting them. 2. study a planet over a long period of time. and finally, 3. land instruments on a planet or to send instruments through its atmosphere.
2012
They sent the New Horizons spacecraft, with no humans on board.
