Dragonfly is a planned NASA mission to send a robotic rotorcraft to the surface of Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. It is planned to be launched in July 2028 and arrive in 2034. It is planned to be launched in July 2028 and arrive in 2034.
NASA plans to launch Dragonfly, a robotic rotorcraft probe which will explore Saturn's moon Titan. [1] NASA plans to launch Artemis 4. The first to use SLS Block 1B. Russia expects to launch the Luna 27 lunar lander in 2028. Chang'e 8, the last mission before China’s moon base begins construction, is planned to launch.
Recently, NASA selected the SpaceX Falcon Heavy to launch the Dragonfly aerial probe to Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. The selection constitutes another win for Elon Musk’s launch company.
The two finalists, CAESAR and Dragonfly, each received $4 million funding through the end of 2018 to further develop and mature their concepts. [39] On June 27, 2019, NASA announced the selection of Dragonfly as the New Frontiers 4 mission for a launch in 2026, [40] later delayed to July 2028. [23]
Understanding these geological dynamics on Titan helps scientists study methane’s affect on our own atmosphere as well as prepare astronomers for when NASA’s Dragonfly mission arrives at the ...
NASA reassigned them to its next mission with SpaceX, called Crew-9. They would have a ride home on that spaceship. Two other astronauts gave up their SpaceX seats to make room for the Boeing duo.
Titan Saturn System Mission (TSSM) was a joint NASA–ESA proposal for an exploration of Saturn and its moons Titan and Enceladus, [1] where many complex phenomena were revealed by Cassini. TSSM was proposed to launch in 2020, get gravity assists from Earth and Venus , and arrive at the Saturn system in 2029.
A NASA funded study, led by the Applied Physics Laboratory, on possible options for an interstellar probe. The nominal concept would launch on a SLS in the 2030s. It would perform either a fast Jupiter flyby, a powered Jupiter flyby, or a very close perihelion and propulsive maneuver, and reach a distance of 1000–2000 AU (93-186 billion miles ...
