Science : NASA has invited submissions for instrument designs to be included on the proposed Clipper mission to Europa. The agency will choose 15 to 20 of the submissions, each of which will receive $1.25 million for further development. Of those, eight finalists will be chosen for inclusion in the final satellite construction. NASA is targeting a launch in the mid 2020s. Whether the project receives funding from Congress is still an open question. NASA estimates that Clipper will require $2 billion to $3 billion.
