Could the Huygens lander be modified for Europa?

A few hours on Titan revolutionized our knowledge of that alien moon, just as a similar
lander would on Europa, under the assumption we could not develop something that
might last longer and do more than Huygens did at Titan in 2005 - which I doubt.

Plus note my previous comment about peppering the moon with small even nanotech
type probes all over the place instead of just one spot.

Perhaps something like the hard lander/penetrators we tried to place on Mars in 1999,
though hopefully a bit more successful.

How about something like a Europan version of Beagle 2, while I am asking?
