Dragonfly

Author(s): DaveBowman2001

Release date:

NASA's Dragonfly is a future space mission to send a robotic rotorcraft to fly above the surface of Titan. Scheduled for launch sometime in July 2028, it is expected to arrive on Saturn's largest moon around 2034 about south of Selk Crater, which is 800 km north of Huygens's landing site. It will be the second extraterrestrial aircraft built after Ingenuity

NOTES:

  • Dragonfly is visible on Celestia starting 2034-Sept-10. Take note that the actual landing date is still unknown (as of 2024)
  • The rotorcraft's blades rotate at 60 rpm. They are understandably faster in real life, but specific details aren't yet publicized
