NASA has chosen SpaceX’s super-heavy Falcon Heavy launch vehicle to launch its Dragonfly scientific research rotorcraft. The potential for life on Saturn’s moon Titan will be investigated.
Dragonfly is scheduled to be released in July 2028. The main mission of the device, which will reach Titan in 2034, is to search for complex organic molecules and evaluate the general suitability of this celestial body for life.
The drone will be able to collect samples from the satellite surface and perform chemical analysis. Dragonfly will also study Titan’s topography, atmosphere and hydrocarbon reserves. The Shangri-La region, close to the satellite’s equator, was chosen as the landing site. It is a wide plain covered with very high sand dunes. They are believed to form from complex hydrocarbon grains that precipitate from the atmosphere.
