Abstract
The Arcanum mission consists of a orbiter/lander combination, launched to the Neptune system. Its primary science goals surround Neptune, Triton, and Kuiper Belt Objects. The Somerville Orbiter, augmented by a lander and surface penetrators for Triton, will answer questions on Triton's weak atmosphere, geological structure and dynamics, Neptune's magnetosphere and atmosphere, and interactions between bodies in the system. When in the destined high-eccentricity high-inclination Neptunian orbit, the spacecraft will use a specially designed off-axis three-mirror anastigmatic telescope to make deep space observations at its apoapsis, and a suite of planetary science instruments to analyse the planet around which it orbits during periapsis.
