Abstract

Neptune’s moon Triton is a fascinating object, a dynamic moon with an atmosphere, and geysers. Given the availability of volatiles (primarily nitrogen ice) on the surface a concept study was performed to see how these ices could be used as propellant to hop across the surface and explore the many different terrains of the moon. Termed Triton Hopper, the Phase 1 mission concept study was funded by the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program in 2015.
