Hi all! In my opinion, Europa explorer must be cheap and simple.
It must consist of 5 parts - 2 orbiters, 3 small and robust landers, and 3 nuclear and termonuclear bombs. I think that 10 Kt - 100 kt - 1 Mgt sequence is optimal. First orbiter is robust, high protected from radioactivity, armed device. On high orbite over Europe With simple and primitive long focused camera, laser-radar. It must to spectacle and record all nuclear explosion parametres. has also a radio recever from landers. second orbiter is orbiting low over the Europe. It must to fly over epicenter of nuke and drop lander to measure and see all. To defend more complex second orbiter from radioactivity rays of nuclear explosion, we struck and explode a nuke in another side of Europe Why nukes? Because it reveal all. First one, we"ll have a great quake of Europe. And can record all seismic infomation without landers. next one. we can to melt ice and see a clear water - just hollow in the crust!!! at 3 rd. We dont need a special lander. If we can melt great hollow in crust - we'll have a liquid water to catch our lander! We dont need airbags, rockets. Just an robust "lander" like small susmarine!! 4 th. we ll have great cloud of water vapour and ice to take from there any chemical information. |
