NASA and ESA are currently conducting studies of a potential collaborative flagship mission either to Titan, Enceladus, and the Saturn system, or to Europa and the Jupiter system. The Saturn mission study, named the "Titan Saturn System Mission" (TSSM) study until an official name is adopted, is a combination of the "Titan and Enceladus Mission" (TandEM) [1] proposed to and accepted for study by ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015-25 Program, and restructurings of two NASA flagship mission concept studies, "Titan Explorer" [2] and "Enceladus Explorer" [3]. The combined mission is reminiscent of the Cassini/Huygens (CH) collaboration. It would have a NASA Titan-orbiting element and one or more ESA in situ elements that could be carried to Titan by the NASA element. There are multiple architecture options for implementing such a mission, and those architectures influence the options for delivering and supporting the ESA in situ elements. In turn, the options for delivery and support, especially constraints on timing that arise from them, influence the science return expected from the in situ elements.
