   Mar 7, 2020 · This paper describes Trident, a proposed Discovery mission to Neptune’s moon Triton, 30 AU from the Sun. Triton formed in the Kuiper Belt but was captured by Neptune into a highly-inclined retrograde orbit, where tidal forces thawed its interior, forming an ocean that likely persists to the present day. Recent outer solar system missions like ...

   Could a 'trident' mission help astronomers find Neptune's largest moon?

   • When NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft visited Neptune’s largest moon, Triton, it returned images of a strange, icy surface terrain pockmarked by geysers. Decades later, astronomers are now eager for a closer look and have proposed a mission they call Trident.

   Why did NASA not select a trident mission in 2021?

   • In June 2021, NASA selected two Venus missions for the Discovery program, VERITAS and DAVINCI+. Trident and a proposed mission to Jupiter’s moon Io were not selected. Unfortunately, due to the position of Neptune and its orbit, the Trident mission could not miss its 2025/2026 launch window and still achieve its science goals.

   How would a trident spacecraft work?

   • The Trident team proposed a standard suite of instruments for the spacecraft. Unlike the instruments used on the New Horizons mission, these would not have to operate at low power during the flyby. Instead, the spacecraft would carry batteries that would be charged by RTGs.

   How much did Trident cost to build a spacecraft?

   • Once that was deducted from the $500 million cost cap, that left Trident with $431 million to build the spacecraft. Many of the things that enable the mission to stay within the Discovery cost cap are design choices that are intricately related.
