NASA announced that it has selected SpaceX to provide launch services for its ambitious Dragonfly mission that will place a rotorcraft lander at Saturn's moon of Titan as part of its New Frontiers Program.

NASA's sending an octocopter-lander to Saturn's cloud-covered moon, Titan, with SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket with a launch scheduled for 2028.

Elon Musk's SpaceX will launch NASA's groundbreaking Dragonfly mission to Saturn's largest moon, Titan, using a Falcon Heavy rocket.

NASA's Dragonfly mission, launching in 2028, aims to explore the habitability and organic chemistry of Saturn’s moon Titan using a novel rotorcraft lander. NASA has chosen SpaceX to handle the launch for its Dragonfly mission,

Expanding on the success of Ingenuity, NASA will send another first of its kind helicopter mission to explore outside Earth, Saturn’s biggest moon Titan.

Space agency’s Dragonfly rotorcraft lander will launch no sooner than July 2028 on SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket.

The mission, managed by NASA’s Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, is expected to reach Titan in 2034. Over its initial three-year mission, Dragonfly will conduct multiple flights to various geological sites, providing unprecedented insights into the moon’s chemical processes and potential for exotic life forms.
