Ganymede Lander

The European Space Agency is planning a mission to explore Jupiter's large ice-coated moons Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede, and Russia is planning a mission to put a lander on Ganymede.  Talks are now underway to see if those missions can be combined, or at least cooperate with each other.

Joining the two together would be expected to save money, and it could also increase the science return.
