"Dragonfly: Exploring Titan's Mysteries"

NASA's Dragonfly mission is set to explore Saturn's largest moon, Titan, in 2034 using an 8-bladed rotorcraft to study its diverse environments and dense nitrogen-based atmosphere. The mission aims to advance astrobiology by studying the pre-life chemistry and investigating the moon's atmospheric and surface properties, subsurface ocean, and liquid reservoirs. Titan, larger than Mercury, has methane lakes, rivers, and a subsurface ocean, and is about 886 million miles away from the Sun. Dragonfly is part of NASA's New Frontiers program and is led by Principal Investigator Elizabeth Turtle from Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.
