NEPTUNE-ODYSSEY:NASA Mission to the Neptune-Triton System

This is an interesting proposal: a Neptune orbiter with an atmospheric probe. This enables long-term study of the Neptune system, unlike the Trident flyby mission. Reuse of instruments from e.g. New Horizons means you can build a flagship mission with less scope for cost overruns than e.g. Cassini.
 
An interesting mission in the early stages, let's hope that it gets the necessary funding to proceed to the hardware stage, I will be keeping an eye out for this mission over the coming months and years.
