Re: Europa submersible hypothetical

[Jayme Blaschke]

Neat speculation on the oceanic composition, all, but my main curiosity is still 
unaddressed: What would the ideal specialties of a four person crew be, and what are 
the most desirable instruments to include on a submersible?

I'd think a biochemist and micro(exo)biologist would be indespensible, whether life is 
known to exist there or not. What else would we want? Geologist? What would the study 
of the underside of kilometers-thick icepacks be called? Would they send an... 
oceanographer(?) to study the composition of the sea itself?
