Cold Dragonfly
Featured on September 8, 2019
An artist's concept shows the Dragonfly drone above Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. NASA recently approved the mission for launch in 2020. It will land in a dune field near Titan's equator. It will fly to a new location each Titan day (about 16 Earth days), then land and analyze rocks on the surface, listen for quakes, and measure Titan's weather. Titan has a dense, cold atmosphere, along with clouds and rains of methane and ethane. [JHUAPL]
