There doesn't seem to be a shortage of possibilities for this challenge. In addition to those listed above, there are many others.
And Ganymede seems to be a wildly popular setting for SF authors.

Lester del Rey's Outpost of Jupiter takes place on Ganymede

Buddy Holly Is Alive and Well on Ganymede by Bradley Denton is in development as a movie starring Jon Heder

Mike Resnick has a Ganymede series

Charles A Sheffield's Cold As Ice series takes place on Ganymede, Europa, and Pandora

Ian Douglas' Heritage Trilogy takes place on the Moon, Mars, and Europa

Frederik Pohl's Man Plus series takes place on Mars

James P Hogan's Minervan Experiment series takes place on the Moon and the Solar System's now-destroyed planet Minerva

Stephen Baxter's NASA Trilogy takes place on Mars, Titan, and Venus

Grant Callin's Saturnalia series voyages to Saturn and beyond

Charles Stross' Saturn's Children series spends time in our solar system before venturing farther afield

Jeffrey A Carver's Chaos Chronicles takes place on Triton and in the Solar System


But wait, there's more! With this challenge, you not only get a set of Ginsu knives, you also get:

Gregory Benford's Jupiter Project

Greg Bear's Moving Mars

Arthur C Clarke's The Sands of Mars

Geoffrey A Landis' Mars Crossing

Kage Baker's The Empress of Mars

Arthur C Clarke's A Fall of Moondust

Jack McDevitt's Moonfall

Jack Williamson's The Moon Children

Johan Harstad's 172 Hours on the Moon

And the Winston Science Fiction classic SF series goes all over the solar system.
