The spacecraft deployed in 1989 to study Jupiter was the Galileo spacecraft. It arrived at Jupiter in 1995 and carried out extensive investigations of the planet and its moons until it was intentionally crashed into Jupiter in 2003 to eliminate any potential contamination of its moons.
The spacecraft that set off for Jupiter in 1972 was Pioneer 10. It was launched on March 2, 1972, and became the first spacecraft to travel through the asteroid belt and to make a flyby of Jupiter.
The Galileo spacecraft did not land on any celestial body. It was on a mission to study Jupiter and its moons from orbit, and was deliberately crashed into Jupiter in 2003 to avoid contaminating any of Jupiter's moons with Earth microbes carried on the spacecraft.
It's Pioneer 10, launched in March 1972. Pioneer 10 first explored the asteroid belt, then moved on to Jupiter. After that, it explored other outer planets and eventually went outside of the solar system, thus becoming the first spacecraft to flay past Pluto.
Jupiter's atmosphere is made up of dense clouds of gas that make it challenging for spacecraft to land on its surface. Additionally, the intense radiation and magnetic fields around Jupiter pose risks to the spacecraft's electronic components. It is more feasible and safer for spacecraft to study Jupiter from orbit rather than attempting to land on its surface.
Galileo was the first spacecraft to visit Jupiter.
It is not possible to drive a car to Jupiter as it is a gas giant planet located over 365 million miles away from Earth. Traveling to Jupiter would require a spacecraft and take several years, depending on the speed and trajectory of the spacecraft.
A spacecraft didn't visit Jupiter it is just a ball of gas.

The time it takes to travel from Earth to Jupiter depends on the spacecraft's speed and trajectory. For example, NASA's Juno spacecraft took about 5 years to reach Jupiter, traveling at an average speed of about 130,000 miles per hour. Future missions may be faster or slower depending on the specific spacecraft and route chosen.

The surface of Jupiter is not solid!
nobody ever landed on Jupiter
The Viking spacecraft was actually a series of missions to Mars in the 1970s. The mission to Jupiter was carried out by the Galileo spacecraft, which took about six years to reach Jupiter in 1995.
It would take approximately 13 months to reach Jupiter if the spacecraft maintains an average speed of 55,000 mph. This estimate is based on the average distance between Earth and Jupiter when they are at their closest points in their orbits.
NASA's Pioneer 10 spacecraft.
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.
