Updating Profile Picture
The mission has been decided to run on solar power and I have updated the article to reflect that choice. Therefore, updating the profile picture to a version the spacecraft with solar panels will provide viewers with a more accurate depiction of the envisioned spacecraft, but I am not sure how to do that.

Importance
I've revised the importance of this article for WikiProject Spaceflight from Low to Mid, and added to the article a section explicitly discussing launch options. Both of these are because the importance of this mission takes on a new meaning (i.e. added politics) in the context of it being a possible payload for SLS. (sdsds - talk) 00:00, 13 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Perhaps you can substitute the probe's image by one displaying solar panels, and not RTGs. CHeers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 03:05, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Europa Mission → Europa Multiple Flyby Mission – There are two names for the mission used by NASA; the Europa Mission, the name used by NASA in media releases (1, 2), and the Europa Multiple Flyby Mission, the name used in official documents and material by NASA (1, 2). I want to start a discussion on what the title of this article should be named, since both names are rather predominant; the Europa Multiple Flyby Mission is the official name of the mission, while "Europa Mission" is a suitable title simply because it's a better known name for the mission. Should the article be kept or moved to Europa Multiple Flyby Mission? Philip Terry Graham 06:12, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Support using the long name; there are many proposed Europa missions. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 06:58, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Closer's comment NASA sometimes uses hyphenation in the mission name as they do in the mission description (it's a [multiple-flyby] mission, not a multiple [flyby mission]), as do others. Doing the same here per the MOS. — kwami (talk) 23:14, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Article title
Per MOS:ITALIC, italics should be used for the name of the spacecraft, and normal text for the name of the mission. I see from the above discussion that the names are controversial. However, I would still recommend removing the template from the article (and perhaps the italics from "Europa Multiple-Flyby Mission" in the lede), as this is the name of the mission, not of the spacecraft itself.

 * I've made the proposed changes to the article. Tevildo (talk) 20:43, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
