Sorry Joel, that I did not thank you for your earlier reply. I understand what you<br />said about sharing spacecraft designs & instruments for differing locations within the Solar System.<br /><br />Of course a Europa or a Jupiter Orbiter in general would have to be redesigned from the <br />bottom up, so to speak.<br /><br />Yes I agree, lets land a fully instrumented craft on Europa equiped with a <br />seismometer, tiltmeter & high res panoramic cameras.<br /><br />An orbiter to operate simultaneously. Just how expensive would this really be<br />if we could remove much of the bureaucracy?<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.
