TL;DR Summary

NASA has postponed the Dragonfly mission to Saturn's moon Titan by a year due to budget uncertainty. The formal confirmation of the mission, which sets the official cost and schedule, has been delayed until early 2024. Despite the funding challenges, NASA will allow some elements of the mission's design and fabrication to proceed. The Dragonfly mission aims to send a drone to Titan to explore regions that may have once supported life. The new launch readiness date is now set for July 2028.
