'''Proteus, (Neptune VIII, S/1989 N 1)''' is the largest inner satellite and the second largest [[natural satellite|moon]] of [[Neptune]]. Proteus was discovered by [[w:Voyager 2|Voyager 2]] during its flyby of Neptune in 1989. It was later named Proteus, the shape-shifting sea-god of Greek mythology. Proteus is tidally locked to Neptune in that the same side faces Neptune throughout its orbit.

== Proteus in Orbiter ==
Proteus was introduced to Orbiter with the release of ''uranus-neptune-moons.zip'' in 2002.
