Tuesday, 13 August 2024 21:58
This summer, NASA's C-20A aircraft successfully completed over 150 hours of science flights across two months, collecting critical Earth science data despite various challenges. Operating internationally, the aircraft conducted missions across several countries in support of global research efforts.
Based at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, the C-20A has been A hopper could explore more than 150 km of Triton's surface in two years
Tuesday, 13 August 2024 19:27
Neptune's largest moon, Triton, is one of the most biologically interesting places in the solar system. Despite being hard to reach, it appears to have active volcanoes, a thin atmosphere, and even some organic molecules called tholins on its surface. However, Voyager only visited it once, in passing, 35 years ago.
Technology has advanced a lot in the intervening decades, and a new push for a lander on Triton specifically has been garnering attention. One such mission was described by Steve Oleson and Geoffrey Landis of NASA's Glenn Research Center.
Their concept mission, known as Triton Hopper, was funded by NASA's Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) back in 2018 and utilized a cryogenic pump to extract propellant from Triton's surface to power a "hopper" that could travel up to 5 km a month, and do some fascinating science along the way.
The first challenge to any mission on Triton is getting there.
