Dragonfly is a rotorcraft lander mission – part of NASA’s New Frontiers Program – designed to take advantage of Titan’s environment to sample materials and determine surface composition in different geologic settings.
The Dragonfly dual-quadcopter will explore a variety of locations on Saturn’s moon Titan. The dense, calm atmosphere and low gravity make flying an ideal way to travel to different areas of the moon. Studies from the late-1990s onward identified aerial mobility, such as that provided by helicopters, balloons, and airplanes, as a key enabler for Titan exploration. At this stage of the mission, the team is refining Dragonfly’s design to best meet its exploration objectives at Titan. This means an evolving look for the rotorcraft-lander that incorporates new camera and instrument placements, thermal designs and use of materials to save mass.
In under an hour, Dragonfly will cover tens of miles farther than any planetary rover has traveled. With one hop per full Titan
