Trident is a space mission concept to the outer planets proposed in 2019 to NASA's Discovery Program. [3] [4] The concept includes flybys of Jupiter and Neptune with a focus on Neptune's largest moon Triton.
Feb 27, 2023 · The proposed Trident mission to Neptune’s moon Triton would have used a clever “ballistic trajectory” that requires minimal fuel for course corrections. (credit: Trident team) Getting there
Feb 13, 2024 · TRIDENT, designed and developed by engineers at Honeybee Robotics in Altadena, California, is the fourth and final science instrument to be installed into VIPER. NASA engineers have already successfully integrated VIPER’s three other science instruments into the rover.
Mar 29, 2019 · Trident won’t need the broad solar arrays that many space missions use. Instead, it will use a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, or RTG, which taps nuclear decay for power and heating.
Jun 16, 2020 · A new Discovery mission proposal, Trident would explore Neptune’s largest moon, Triton, which is potentially an ocean world with liquid water under its icy crust. Trident aims to answer the questions outlined in the graphic illustration above.
Oct 16, 2024 · PRIME-1, which will be mounted to a lunar lander, is made up of two components – The Regolith and Ice Drill for Exploring New Terrain (TRIDENT) and the Mass Spectrometer for Observing Lunar Operations (MSOLO).
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 ...
