   Trident takes advantage of an efficient gravity assist alignment of Jupiter and Neptune (that occurs once every 13 years) to capitalize on a narrow observational window that enables assessment of changes in Triton's plume activity and surface characteristics since the previous encounter of Neptune-Triton by Voyager 2 in 1989. [3][9] With the ...

   Did NASA find a cryovolcano on Neptune?

   • In 1989, several cryovolcanoes were discovered on the surface of Neptune's largest moon, Triton, when NASA's Voyager 2 flew past it at a distance of 40,000 km (25,000 mi)".

   When will NASA launch a spacecraft to Triton?

   • The proposed launch date for NASA's mission to Triton is in October 2025 (with a backup in October 2026). This launch date takes advantage of a once-in-13-years window, when Earth is properly aligned with Jupiter. The spacecraft would use the gravitational pull of Jupiter as a slingshot straight to Triton for an extended 13-day encounter in 2038.

   Did Voyager 2 observe Triton's entire surface?

   • Voyager 2 was only able to observe approximately 40% of Triton's surface. The Trident concept was proposed in March 2019 to NASA's Discovery Program. It is intended to help answer some of the questions generated by Voyager 2's flyby in 1989.

   Can a spacecraft reach Triton in 2038?

   • A spacecraft could reach Triton in 2038 by using Jupiter's gravitational pull as a slingshot for an extended 13-day encounter. Near-global compositional mapping at 1-5 μm wavelength would be conducted during this visit.

   Is Triton a crater?

   • Triton is not a crater. It is a moon of Neptune that is geologically active and has a young surface with relatively few impact craters. It has a very thin atmosphere. Voyager 2 was only able to observe approximately 40% of Triton's surface. The Trident concept was proposed in March 2019 to NASA's Discovery Program.

   Why does Neptune orbit backwards?

   • This is thought to be the result of a giant collision in the solar system’s past. Meanwhile, Neptune is home to the only large moon that orbits backwards around its parent planet, the curious Triton. The peculiar orbital arrangement isn’t where the oddities end.
