    w0w!!!!!

    amazing results will be gotten from this .... sorry if allready posted...

    It will be a very exciting mission if/when it ever goes ahead. ESA's Jupiter Ganymede Orbiter is currently on a short list with 2 other missions, the winner of which won't be announced until 2013. And while NASA have selected the Jupiter Europa Orbiter as it's next outer planets flagship mission, it hasn't been given any specific funding other than pre-development funding. And with the current uncertainty with NASA's future, if this mission ever happens it'll be mid to late 2020's or even later before it launches.
