(I wasn't quite sure where to put this, so here it is in the "Jupiter" section.) The actual presentations aren't on the site quite yet (Fran Bergenal tells me they will be shortly), although the meeting agenda is. OPAG will also be releasing an official exploration "Pathways" document within another week or two. The main conclusions to be drawn from the report are that Europa is still first priority, a Titan mission must be Flagship-class and should include both an orbiter and "a balloon/aerobot/probe", and discussions of possible Enceladus missions are just starting to get underway. |

You miss the point. In the MIDAS presentation Ganymede itself is not the target, it's the vantage point to study the Jupiter system, e.g. Io, Europa, Callisto and Jupiter itself. And the way to Ganymede gives you some flybys on other moons too.
