Dragonfly and CAESAR, a comet sample return mission to 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, were the two finalists for the New Frontiers program Mission 4, [25] [26] and on 27 June 2019, NASA selected Dragonfly for development with a plan to launch in June 2027. [27] [28] On 3 March 2023, Dragonfly passed its preliminary design review (PDR). [29]
NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. Dragonfly-Dragonfly is a drone-like rotorcraft that would explore the prebiotic chemistry and habitability of dozens of sites on Saturn’s moon Titan, an ocean world in our solar system ...
Ingenuity, nicknamed Ginny, is an autonomous NASA helicopter that operated on Mars from 2021 to 2024 as part of the Mars 2020 mission. Ingenuity made its first flight on 19 April 2021, demonstrating that flight is possible in the extremely thin atmosphere of Mars, and becoming the first aircraft to conduct a powered and controlled extra-terrestrial flight.
The Dragonfly will fly from place to place on the surface of Titan using eight rotor blades as a vertical takeoff and landing drone. It will use a suite of instruments, including cameras, to ...
Boeing X-50 Dragonfly, an unmanned aerial surveillance vehicle designed by the U.S. military; Cessna A-37 Dragonfly, a US attack aircraft; Castiglioni Dragon Fly 333 (Dragon Fly 333), an Italian helicopter
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 ...
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]
The Boeing X-50A Dragonfly, formerly known as the Canard Rotor/Wing Demonstrator, was a VTOL rotor wing experimental unmanned aerial vehicle that was developed by Boeing and DARPA to demonstrate the principle that a helicopter's rotor could be stopped in flight and act as a fixed wing, enabling it to transition between fixed-wing and rotary-wing flight.
