That would be great except it would have to be on purpose for us to see anything. If it were by accident there would be too much radio attenuation from the water for the pictures to be sent home to us. Most concepts get around that with a mothership that relays the signal back.

In any case, they're planning something for a low orbit of Europa or Enceladus soon, I think.

Edit: found it. It's for Europa. Phase 1 https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/europa-clipper/

Phase 2 (turns out the have to bore through 3-16 miles of ice) https://youtu.be/sPCpNlVJBr8
