Before NASA’s Dragonfly Rotorcraft Soars On Titan, Model Is Tested On Earth

==========

NASA's Dragonfly rotorcraft lander is being tested on Earth before its flight on Saturn's moon Titan. A half-scale Dragonfly lander model is being tested at NASA Langley. The Dragonfly rotorcraft is designed to explore Titan's surface and atmosphere. It will be launched in 2026 and is expected to arrive at Titan in 2034. The Dragonfly mission aims to study Titan's organic chemistry and potential for habitability. The rotorcraft will fly to multiple locations on Titan's surface to gather data. The tests on Earth will help engineers refine the design and ensure the rotorcraft's ability to fly in Titan's environment.
