  1. Just looking at the Europa Clipper mission.  Do we know the mass of the orbiter after Jovian insertion?  Wiki suggests science instruments (82kg) and shielding (150kg).  Add propulsion and electrics (solar panels, batteries) and comms dish, etc.  At 5m high, 3m diameter  and 22m wide it is a big craft!

      I would think it would be the dry mass, which the wiki article gives as 2,600 kg.

      Of course for a lander mission it might not have the same mass.
