===== Cancelled missions and future plans =====
There is an interest in missions to study Jupiter's larger icy moons, which may have subsurface liquid oceans.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sori |first=Mike |title=Jupiter's moons hide giant subsurface oceans – two missions are sending spacecraft to see if these moons could support life |url=http://theconversation.com/jupiters-moons-hide-giant-subsurface-oceans-two-missions-are-sending-spacecraft-to-see-if-these-moons-could-support-life-203207 |access-date=May 12, 2023 |website=The Conversation |date=April 10, 2023 |language=en |archive-date=May 12, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230512042246/http://theconversation.com/jupiters-moons-hide-giant-subsurface-oceans-two-missions-are-sending-spacecraft-to-see-if-these-moons-could-support-life-203207 |url-status=live }}</ref> Funding difficulties have delayed progress, causing NASA's ''[[Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter|JIMO]]'' (''Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter'') to be cancelled in 2005.<ref>{{cite news |first=Brian |last=Berger |title=White House scales back space plans |publisher=MSNBC |date=February 7, 2005 |url=http://www.nbcnews.com/id/6928404/ |access-date=January 2, 2007 |archive-date=October 29, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029210930/http://www.nbcnews.com/id/6928404/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> A subsequent proposal was developed for a joint NASA/[[European Space Agency|ESA]] mission called [[EJSM/Laplace]], with a provisional launch date around 2020.
