2025年1月2日 · What is Dragonfly? Dragonfly is a rotorcraft lander mission – part of NASA’s New Frontiers Program – designed to take advantage of Titan’s environment to sample materials and determine surface composition in different geologic settings. This revolutionary mission concept includes the capability to explore diverse locations to ...
Dragonfly | Missions | Astrobiology
The mission is a rotorcraft lander (a dual-quadcopter), and will take advantage of Titan’s dense atmosphere and low gravity to explore a variety of locations, determining surface composition in different geologic settings.
NASA's Dragonfly Will Fly Around Titan Looking for Origins, …
2019年6月27日 · Dragonfly marks the first time NASA will fly a multi-rotor vehicle for science on another planet; it has eight rotors and flies like a large drone. It will take advantage of Titan’s dense atmosphere – four times denser than Earth’s – to become the first vehicle ever to fly its entire science payload to new places for repeatable and ...
Goddard’s Contributions to NASA’s New Dragonfly Mission
2019年6月28日 · Yesterday, NASA announced the selection of its fourth mission in the New Frontiers portfolio: Dragonfly, an octocopter lander (a Mars rover-size, drone-like vehicle) that will explore the prebiotic organic chemistry of Titan, the biggest of Saturn’s 62 known moons and an intriguing ocean world with a dense, hazy atmosphere and methane seas.
• Lander needs to adjust to changing thermal conditions, mostly Titan winds - Winds can go from 2 m/s max average at surface to dead-calm conditions - Randomly generated wind inputs (at frequencies to which the Lander is sensitive)
