Mar 7, 2020 · The Triton encounter sequence probes for an ocean, measures the ionosphere, and views nearly the whole of Triton as it traverses a single orbit around Neptune, mapping the >60% of the surface that is as yet unseen.
Feb 27, 2023 · Trident would go past Venus—using its high gain antenna as a thermal shield—and fly past Earth twice, then head past Jupiter in 2032, bending its orbit to head towards Neptune. The team called this a “ballistic trajectory” because it requires almost no additional propellant after firing out of Earth’s gravity.
