Triton Frontier Webinar

Tomás Achterberg discusses the Odyssey Deep Explorer's mission to Triton.

Priya Venkataraman explains flight operations for crews far from Earth. Tomás will describe the Odyssey Deep Explorer's mission planning for Triton, including its range of 1,800 AU, its efficient helium-3 drive and the closed-loop habitat that keeps 18 crew healthy for years. Priya will explain how flight operations support crews so far from Earth, where messages take hours to arrive and crews must solve most problems on their own.

The webinar includes images from previous Odyssey missions to Neptune and a live Q&A with both speakers.

For explorers, researchers and enthusiasts. Anyone curious about life aboard a long-range explorer, or about applying to join a future Odyssey crew, will find the session useful. A recording will be posted on the Neptune Exploration League's archive after the broadcast.
