Europa, by virtue of its complex geology, geophysics, and exobiological potential has emerged as the prime planetary target in the Jupiter system, post Galileo. Here I discuss aspects of an exploration strategy for Europa as well as the rest of the Galilean satellites. The primary issue I address is the sequence of missions that leads to the most comprehensive exploration of Europa, and the answers to the most compelling scientific questions concerning that body, all subject to the manifest constraints of resources and mission duration. I also discuss possibilities that arise when resource constraints are modestly relaxed. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
