What to know

  • Public can register names to be included on a microchip flying aboard NASA's Dragonfly rotorcraft to Titan; registration closes January 15, 2027.
  • Dragonfly is being assembled at Johns Hopkins APL and is scheduled to launch in 2028, arriving at Saturn's moon Titan in 2034.
  • The mission will fly to multiple sites on Titan to search for signs of prebiotic chemistry and conditions for habitability.
  • Dragonfly is the fourth mission in NASA's New Frontiers Program, led by APL with Elizabeth Turtle as principal investigator.

“La misión Dragonfly de la NASA les dejará impactados... Al llevar a cabo la primera misión científica con una aeronave de ala giratoria, la NASA explorará Titán, la luna más grande de Saturno, mientras buscamos señales de habitabilidad en este mundo lejano que es muy parecido al nuestro.”
