===Cancelled proposals===
Several other missions have been proposed to flyby or orbit Ganymede, but were either not selected for funding or cancelled before launch.

The [[Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter]] would have studied Ganymede in greater detail.<ref name="JIMO">{{cite encyclopedia |url=http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/J/JIMO.html |title=Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) |encyclopedia=The Internet Encyclopedia of Science |access-date=January 6, 2008 |archive-date=February 11, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080211223140/http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/J/JIMO.html |url-status=live }}</ref> However, the mission was canceled in 2005.<ref name="n.050207">{{cite journal |last=Peplow |first=M. |url=http://www.nature.com/news/2005/050208/full/news050207-4.html |title=NASA budget kills Hubble telescope |journal=Nature |date=February 8, 2005 |doi=10.1038/news050207-4 |access-date=December 24, 2011 |doi-access=free |archive-date=July 2, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100702062759/http://www.nature.com/news/2005/050208/full/news050207-4.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Another old proposal was called The Grandeur of Ganymede.<ref name="Pappalardo2001" />

The [[Europa Jupiter System Mission]] had a proposed launch date of 2020, and was a joint NASA and ESA proposal for exploration of many of Jupiter's moons including Ganymede. In February 2009 it was announced that ESA and NASA had given this mission priority ahead of the [[Titan Saturn System Mission]].<ref name="bbc.7897585">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7897585.stm |title=Jupiter in space agencies' sights |first=Paul |last=Rincon |work=BBC News |date=February 20, 2009 |access-date=February 20, 2009 |archive-date=February 21, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090221185643/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7897585.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> The mission was to consist of the NASA-led [[Jupiter Europa Orbiter]], the ESA-led [[Jupiter Ganymede Orbiter]], and possibly a [[JAXA]]-led [[Jupiter Magnetospheric Orbiter]].
