It seems pertinent to suggest ESA and NASA should coordinate missions to Jupiter and Europa....


And Saturn and Titan and Enceladus.

A lander, no less!!! smile.gif

Well...we can only hope, but frankly I'm not optimistic.

Getting a mission into the $2B frame that NASA is looking for + ESA's 600M Euros is likely to require using a smaller launcher. If Russia is to contribute a lander, it would either have to be *very* light (a hard lander?) or they would have to supply their own launcher. However, splitting a Jovian ensemble of craft into a couple of different launchers would really add a lot of flexibility
