Well, it's decided then...

Nasa and ESA have decided...

(no doubt firmly infuenced by our poll 11:9)

...and the winner is...

Europa!

Actually plans are to send two orbiters: the NASA made one will explore Europa, the ESA made one will explore Ganymede. Planned launch date is 2020, with ETA of 2026.

A mission to Titan is likely to go ahead after that, but more time is needed to plan it.
