The rotorcraft lander, named Dragonfly, is set to launch in July 2028.
NASA has confirmed that it is sending a rotorcraft lander to Saturn’s moon, Titan, to explore dozens of different locations. The lander, named Dragonfly, is set to launch in July 2028. "Dragonfly is a spectacular science mission with broad community interest, and we are excited to take the next steps on this mission," said Nicky Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
"The dual-quadcopter is set to land on Titan in 2034 and is expected to fly to dozens of "promising locations" on the moon, NASA said. This will be the very first time NASA will fly a vehicle for a science mission on another planetary body. Dragonfly will search for prebiotic chemical processes that are common on both Titan and during Earth’s early years before life developed.The rotorcraft will have eight rotors and will fly like a drone, NASA said.
