NASA's Dragonfly Mission to Titan Set for 2028 Launch

The mission aims to explore Saturn's moon Titan, investigating its potential for life and replicating conditions of early Earth.

NASA's Dragonfly mission, scheduled for a 2028 launch, will investigate Titan's prebiotic chemistry and potential for life.
The rotorcraft, costing $3.35 billion, will explore diverse locations on Titan, using a nuclear-powered drone.
Dragonfly will be NASA's first vehicle to fly for science on another planetary body's moon, arriving in 2034.
The mission faced delays and budget increases due to COVID-19 and other factors, but is now fully approved.
Titan's unique conditions, including a dense atmosphere and hydrocarbon lakes, make it a key target for astrobiological studies.
