Additional kick stage options[edit]
Neptune Odyssey: A Flagship Concept for the Exploration of the Neptune–Triton System says SLS [Block 2] could launch it with a Centaur upper stage (as a liquid-fuel kick stage), and says "a Falcon Heavy-class vehicle could deliver the same payload mass using a solar electric propulsion (SEP) kick stage." - Rod57 (talk) 19:49, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
US has insufficient plutonium or RTG production rate[edit]
Neptune Odyssey: A Flagship Concept for the Exploration of the Neptune–Triton System says it would need 3 NGRTG's for electrical power which would need 28.8 kg of plutonium, and the current RTG production rate is insufficent. - Rod57 (talk) 20:02, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
Making Triton Ocean World Sureveyor it's own Article[edit]
This is an entirely separate mission from Neptune Odyssey. I can understand why they're similarly, but Neptune Odyssey is a flagship class mission (like Europa Clipper) while Triton Ocean World Sureveyor is a New Frontiers one, with much more heavy emphasis on Triton, meaning no atmospheric probes and such. I have made a template of it on my sandbox page, and am open to discuss this IowaBird (talk) 08:33, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
