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.
Dragonfly (Titan space probe), a planned NASA rotorcraft and lander for a mission to Titan Project Dragonfly (space study) , a conceptual design study for a laser-propelled interstellar probe Computing
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.
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 ...
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 ...
NASA’s Psyche mission aims to lift off October 12 — and be the first to explore a metal-rich asteroid that may be the exposed core of an early planetary building block.
Project Dragonfly is the first conceptual design study that assesses the feasibility of a laser-propelled interstellar probe, conducted by the Initiative for Interstellar Studies. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Contrary to past unmanned interstellar mission studies such as Project Daedalus and Project Icarus , the focus is particularly on a small spacecraft. [ 2 ]
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.
