Simulation of the lander. According to the proposal, the lander will be launched between 2024-2025 and will arrive several years after the arrival of the EMFM probe, which will make many flybys near Europe. It will be able to photograph it at a very high resolution to find safe but scientifically interesting landing sites, and roly noses like the one described in the simulation - near plumes of water coming out as geysers from the moon Atal past Hal, and it is estimated that, if they do exist in Europe, they originate in its sub-ice ocean.
