Perhaps a source of confusion: There was a mission concept called Europa Ice Clipper that involved an impactor and a sample return. That concept was never funded and is not currently active.
The mission concept that is currently active was tentatively called Europa Multiple-Flyby Mission. That has formally been named, very recently, Europa Clipper. Other than the name and the world that's being targeted, there's little relationship between the two missions. |
