NASA shortlists missions to map the surface of Venus, identify gases in its atmosphere, look for an ocean on Triton, and hunt for magma flows on Io. NASA shortlists missions to map the surface of Venus, identify gases in its atmosphere, look for an ocean on Triton, and hunt for magma flows on Io The NASA Discovery Program aims to provide opportunities for smaller scale planetary science missions and has been doing so since 1992. TRIDENT Trident would explore Triton, a unique and highly active icy moon of Neptune, to get a deeper understanding of potentially habitable world's in the outer solar system. The mission will look for a subsurface ocean NASA’s Voyager 2 mission showed that Triton has active resurfacing - generating the second youngest surface in the solar system after Io.
