Titan Rotorcraft (Planned)
Dragonfly
Dragonfly is currently about 1,263,193,429 kilometres from Earth, or 8.444 astronomical units, which puts a one-way radio signal 70.2 minutes out. It is 9.434 astronomical units from the Sun.
A car-sized nuclear-powered octocopter that will fly from dune to dune across Titan, sampling organic chemistry on a world with methane rain and rivers.
Slated to launch in 2028 and arrive at Titan’s Selk crater region in 2034.
