Cassini Huygens is a mission with a spacecraft in orbit around Saturn. It recently was granted funding for an extended mission. The Cassini continues to operate in good health, while the Huygens probe sits frozen on the surface of Titan - which is Saturn's largest moon.

Europa is one of the four Galillean satellites of Jupiter. It gets a lot of popular attention as it may harbor life in is liquid ocean, which is below its exterior surface ice shell.

Nobody has landed a probe on Europa as of this date, but there are some concepts and proposals that have not received full approval yet as formal missions.

Next Jupuiter mission that I know of is JUNO.
