THUNDER: A New Frontiers-Class Titan Orbiter Mission Concept From the NASA JPL Planetary Science Summer SchoolTitan’s Hydrocarbons: Uncovering New Dimensions of Evolutionary pRocesses (THUNDER) is a dedicated geology and geophysics mission to trace Titan’s hydrocarbons from the inside out, assessing whether hydrocarbons move through Titan’s water ice bedrock to cycle from the subsurface ocean to the atmosphere. This Titan orbiter will use surface mapping (via radar and spectrometry) and gravity science to advance geophysical expertise for Saturn’s most Earth-like moon.
