Some presentations on Europa mission instrumentation were shown at the recent OPAG meeting, including a Micro-Raman spectrometer for a possible lander. Also an update on mission planning status in this tweet from Emily. The Critical Design Review mentioned there is in late 2019.

According to various sources, the recent NASA budget requests include increased funding for planetary exploration, including funding for a Europa Lander to follow Europa Clipper (or for the two missions to run concurrently).

Meanwhile, on the planning side, there has been some iteration on the design of such a lander.

I have only barely dared to believe that a Europa Lander might occur in the next ~15 years, but there are some encouraging signs now pointing that way.
