Making Triton Ocean World Sureveyor it's own Article
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)
