Prospects of passive radio detection of a subsurface ocean on Europa with a lander

We estimate the sensitivity of a lander-based instrument for the passive radio detection of a subsurface ocean beneath the ice shell of Europa, expected to be between 3km and 30km thick, using Jupiter's decametric radiation. A passive technique was previously studied for an orbiter. Using passi...
