   Jun 16, 2020 · The oddities of Triton could fill an almanac: As Neptune rotates, Triton orbits in the opposite direction. No other large moon in the solar system does that. And Triton’s orbit lies at an extreme tilt, offset from Neptune’s equator by 23 degrees. About three-quarters the diameter of our own Moon, Triton isn’t where it used to be, either.

   Abstract. The Neptune Odyssey mission concept is a Flagship-class orbiter and atmospheric probe to the Neptune–Triton system. This bold mission of exploration would orbit an ice-giant planet to study the planet, its rings, small satellites, space environment, and the planet-sized moon Triton.

   Feb 13, 2020 · Trident would explore Triton, a unique and highly active icy moon of Neptune, to understand pathways to habitable worlds at tremendous distances from the Sun. NASA's Voyager 2 mission showed that Triton has active resurfacing - generating the second-youngest surface in the solar system - with the potential for erupting plumes and an atmosphere.

   Should a NASA agship go to Neptune & Triton?

   • Unlike small- and medium-scale missions, the scale and cost of agship missions enable and should require coverage fl of a broad suite of science objectives, engaging with a large cross section of the planetary community. For this reason, a mission to Neptune and Triton is ideal for a NASA agship.

   Would a Flagship mission to Neptune and Triton be possible?

   • A Flagship Mission to Neptune and Triton would provide many firsts —an orbiter and atmospheric probe would be feasible on a Flagship budget and achievable given the current state of the technology required by such a venture(Rymer et al. 2020a referred to heretofore as the Odyssey report ”).

   Does Triton help Neptune?

   • Triton also helps Neptune’s case. “Triton breaks the tie between Uranus and Neptune in terms of scientific interest because it’s the only major moon in our solar system that's in a retrograde orbit,” said Dr. Kunio Sayanagi, Associate Professor at Hampton University, who worked on the Neptune Odyssey white paper.

   Feb 17, 2022 · Proposals for missions to study the ice giant planet Neptune and its mysterious moon Triton have been on NASA’s to-do list for over a decade, but nothing has happened until now. A mission to explore one of the ice giants — Uranus or Neptune — was one of the three priorities set out by the last Decadal Survey in 2010, along with Jupiter’s moon Europa and a sample return mission to Mars.
