   Is there a space mission to the moon of Triton?

   • Try refreshing the page. NASA has selected four mission concept studies as potential Discovery class solar system space missions to Venus, Jupiter’s moon of Io, and Neptune’s moon of Triton. Each of the studies will now receive $3 million to further their investigations over a nine-month period to develop and mature concepts.

   Why does Venus have no NASA missions?

   • For decades, Venus has lacked NASA missions relative to the other major bodies of the solar system, says Kane. Venus is the nearest Earth-size planet, he says, and yet we lack critical information regarding fundamental aspects of its atmosphere, surface, and interior.

   How would Ivo explore Jupiter's Moon?

   • IVO would explore Jupiter’s moon, Io, via close-in flybys to access how magma in the moon’s interior is generated and erupts onto the moon’s surface.

   Could Trident fly by Neptune?

   • Little is known about this highly-active icy moon of Neptune, says NASA, but the idea is that Trident would do a single flyby to see what active processes are happening on its surface and whether it has a subsurface ocean. “We have not been to Neptune since NASA’s Voyager 2 encounter in 1989, so our current data is limited,” said Kane.

   When was the last time NASA visited Venus?

   • The last time NASA sent a dedicated mission to Venus was 1989, when its Magellan orbiter launched on a five-year mission to create a radar map of the planet. Ever since, Earth’s sister world—almost identical to our own planet in size, mass and bulk composition—had been relegated to the shadows of American space exploration.
