European scientists are meeting this week to consider their best option for exploring Europa, the moon of Jupiter.
They have a number of ideas that could fit as add-ons to US missions that are likely to be launched in the 2020s.
The concepts range from remote-sensing instruments to penetrators that would try to burrow beneath Europa's ice-encrusted surface.
Whatever option is chosen, it will first have to win the support of the European Space Agency.
