TL;DR Summary

NASA's Dragonfly mission to Saturn's moon, Titan, will carry an instrument called the Dragonfly Mass Spectrometer (DraMS) to study the chemistry at work on Titan and investigate the progression of prebiotic chemistry. DraMS will remotely study the chemical makeup of the Titanian surface and scan through measurements of samples from Titan's surface material for evidence of prebiotic chemistry. The Dragonfly robotic rotorcraft will capitalize on Titan's low gravity and dense atmosphere to fly between different points of interest on Titan's surface, spread as far as several miles apart.
