   Will Triton be a spacecraft?

   • But it will also be a smaller craft. Triton’s geysers and cantaloupe terrain make it a prime target for finding life in our solar system. 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.
