Answer:

When designing a landing pod tailored to withstand Neptune's harsh atmosphere, we need to understand its most hostile features:

  • cold temperatures of -240° to -330°F
  • high pressure as you move into the clouds (up to 10,000 bars)

First, to withstand the atmosphere's cold temperatures, a landing pod would need thick insulation to keep heat inside the pod. Second, it would need structural rigidity to withstand the high pressure as it moves towards the planet's surface.
