Finally an improvement for serving man.

Interstellar comets, like 3I/ATLAS, travel through our solar system from regions outside the familiar boundaries of the Milky Way.

Lydia seems to be unclear about "interstellar" vs. "intergalactic".

Here are the sensors on the Europa Clipper:

https://www.planetary.org/space-missions/europa-clipper
An ice-penetrating radar instrument will map Europa’s ice and the possible lakes within, while the Europa Clipper Magnetometer (ECM) and Plasma Instrument for Magnetic Sounding (PIMS) will together measure the moon’s magnetic properties to provide strong evidence of the subsurface ocean. They will also help determine the depth of Europa’s icy shell and ocean. Two sets of cameras operating at different wavelengths — the Europa Thermal Emission Imaging System (E-THEMIS) and the Europa Imaging System (EIS) — will map the moon’s surface and search for plumes. The SUrface Dust Analyser (SUDA) will look for small particles ejected from Europa that could trace potential plumes. And finally, three spectrometers called the Europa Ultraviolet Spectrograph (Europa-UVS), the Mapping Imaging Spectrometer for Europa (MISE), and the Mass Spectrometer for Planetary Exploration (MASPEX) will measure the composition of Europa’s surface and atmosphere to get a sense of the makeup of its hidden ocean.

Now this is actually exciting, IMHO...

Pericles from the object could disassemble the Europa Clipper and use the material to rebuild 3I’s external structure ...
