Thank you very much, MaverickSawyer!
Here, some screenshots of the landing complex for Europa, for the first time in the simulation:
1. The sequence of the cover and lander detach from the propulsive stage.
2. The "Salviati" Europa lander - upper view. Shows in the foreground the meteoroid detector plates and the (folded) arm with the Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectrometer, the Infrared Spectrometer and the Stereoscopic Camera.
3. "Salviati" Europa lander - bottom view. Shows the descent radar, the descent camera and the folded arm with the grinder/drill, the Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer, the microscope and the TECP (Thermal and Electrical Conductivity Probe).

A rough demo of the landscape at the landing site. For better protection against the harsh radiations from Jupiter, the landing site will be likely placed at the far side of Europa.
