Is there a space probe on its way to Europa right now?

I watched this thing on TV that said they were going to send a probe to Jupiters moon Europa to check for underwater life, but the documentary was a repeat and I think it was made in the late 90's, so did they send a probe there?





Or will they be sending one? And when will it get there?|||No, there is not yet a probe going to Europa. A prototype underwater explorer, Endurance, is being tested on Earth in preparation for sending one to Europa.





The Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) has been cancelled. It was a proposed mission to orbit three of the Galilean satellites, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, which may have subsurface oceans and possibly the ingredients for life.|||I think I know the show that you mean. They were talking about the Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) which has been canceled since the making of that show.|||It was made either in the 90's or early 00's cuz i remember seeing that aswel, i might be mistaken but the probe was canceled due to the risk of contaminating Europa's possible eco system.
