The spacecraft has entered its preliminary design review phase, so I think it's time to begin discussion of what promises to be a fascinating journey to one of the most interesting destinations in the Solar System. Dr. Robert Pappalardo, the mission's chief scientist, delivered an overview of Europa as well as a top-level description of instrumentation and objectives during a talk tonight at the Griffith Observatory as part of their monthly "All Space Considered" series, so that serves as a good starting point. His presentation starts at 29:35.
As a reminder, please carefully review rule 1.3 before commenting. In fact, please review all of them. Thanks! Europa Clipper Presentation (29:35) -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20160008162 is an old paper that describes an earlier tour design. I couldn't find anything more recent that wasn't paywalled.
At one point the claim was made that there would be no science observations made of the other satellites to save costs, but I doubt that will hold once they're flying. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
